Solution

The correct option is A Phosphoglycolate
Photorespiration is the uptake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide in light and results from the biosynthesis of glycolate in chloroplasts and subsequent metabolism of glycolate acid in the leaf cell which provide the first product as two molecules of phosphoglycolate which undergoes various step reaction to form three phosphoglyceric acid in C3 plants by entering Calvin cycle.
So the correct option is 'Phosphoglycolate'
