Solution

The correct option is A No photorespiration
In $C_{4}$ plants photosynthetic rates is higher than the C $_{3}$ plants as they have PEP as CO $_{2}$ acceptor and transfer it to RuBisCO so it is not able to bind with oxygen and in continuation carbon dioxide fixation takes place. So they do not have photorespiration.
So the correct option is ' No photorespiration'.
