• A. Algae
• B. Bundle sheath cells of $C_4$ plants
• C. Mesophyll cells of $C_4$ plants

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and B

C₄ plants have large cells around the vascular bundle known as the bundle sheath cells, that are devoid of any grana.

They show Kranz anatomy and have a high tolerance to temperature, respond to higher light intensity and lack photorespiration.

Algae also have chloroplasts that are devoid of the grana.

So, the correct option is 'Both A and B'
