Solution

The correct option is C Photorespiration
Photorespiration is a process in plant metabolism, which attempts to reduce the consequences of a wasteful oxygenation reaction by the enzyme RuBisCO. Photorespiration involves a complex network of enzyme reactions, that exchange metabolites between chloroplasts, leaf peroxisomes and mitochondria. It occurs in presence of light. So, it is called as photorespiration.
