The correct option is C Mesophyll cells

A) In $C_4$ plants, photosynthesis takes place in the bundle sheath cells.

B) Peroxisomes contain the reducing enzyme catalase and usually some oxidases and take part in photorespiration.

C) Mesophyll cells are the site of photosynthesis in $C_3$ plants.

D) Kranz anatomy is present in $C_4$ plants.

So the correct answer is 'Mesophyll cells'.
