Solution

The correct option is A PEP
In C4 plants, PEP carboxylase fixes PEP with carbon dioxide in the mesophyll cells of the leaf and results in four carbon compound, malate which is shuttled into the bundle sheath cells. Thus, option B is correct.
PGA, RDP, RMP are the intermediate products of C3 pathway.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
