• B. Bundle sheath cells
• C. Palisade cells

Answer 1

The correct option is B Bundle sheath cells

The plants exibiting the C4 pathway are called C4 plants.
C4 plants live in hot moist or arid and nonsaline habitats.
In such plants, bundle sheath cells and mesophyll cells contain chloroplasts.
However, Photosystem II is absent in chloroplasts found in bundle sheath cells.
