Solution

The correct option is B Phosphoenol pyruvic acid (PEP)
C4 plants fix atmospheric carbon dioxide into four carbon compounds oxaloacetic acid or malic acid. The initial carboxylation is brought about by the enzyme PEP carboxylase, which carboxylates phosphoenol pyruvic acid (PEP) into four carbon compounds.
