Solution

The correct option is C Chloroplast
Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (Rubisco) is found in chloroplast stroma and carries out carboxylation reaction in the Calvin cycle. In Calvin cycle, the first reaction is carboxylation in which carbon dioxide is added to ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate to form two molecules of 3-phosphoglyceric acid.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
