Solution
The correct option is B C4 plant
Word "Kranz" means a ring or wreath and refers to the thick walled bundle sheath cells present around vascular bundles in the shape of a ring in C4 plants. The bundle sheath cells have agranal chloroplast and fix carbon dioxide with the help of RuBisCO enzyme. The thin walled mesophyll cells carry out initial carbon dioxide fixation with the help of PEP carboxylase enzyme. This special arrangement of cells and presence of dimorphic chloroplasts helps in minimizing photorespiration in C4 plants.
