Solution

The correct option is C
In both cases, rubisco is not used to fix carbon initially.

C4 and CAM plants are plants that use certain special compounds to gather carbon dioxide (CO ₂) during photosynthesis. Using these compounds allows these plants to extract more CO ₂from a given amount of air, helping them prevent water loss in dry climates.
