Solution
The correct option is C chloroplast and peroxisome
Photorespiration refers to a process in plant metabolism where the enzyme RuBisCO oxygenates RuBP, wasting some of the energy produced by photosynthesis. This process completes in peroxisome, chloroplast, and mitochondria. RuBP is converted to PGA and phosphoglycolate with the help of oxygen in chloroplasts. The phosphoglycolate is converted to glycolate, which moves to peroxisomes. In peroxisomes, glycolate reacts with oxygen to form glyoxylate.
