Solution

The correct option is C CAM photosynthesis
Scotoactive stomata is that which is closed in the day and open during night time.
CAM photosynthesis or Crassulacean acid metabolism, is a carbon fixation pathway in some plants as an adaptation to arid conditions. In a plant using full CAM, the stomata in the leaves remain closed during the day to reduce transpiration, but open at night to collect carbon dioxide (CO2).
Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
