Solution
The correct option is B Sugarcane Kranz anatomy occurs in the chloroplast of C4 plants such as sugarcane, maize (Zea mays), sorghum etc. It has two types of photosynthetic cell arranged in a specific manner. These are bundle sheath cells that surround the vascular centres, and mesophyll cells that, in turn, surround the bundle sheath cells. Rubisco is localised only within internalised bundle sheath cells which helps in fixation of carbon dioxide.
