Solution

The correct option is D Primary $C O_{2}$ fixation product- PGA
A) The primary ${C O}_{2}$ fixation product is a $C_{4}$ acid.
B) Carboxylation first takes place in the mesophyll cells followed by Calvin's cycle in the bundle sheath cell.
C) The primary ${C O}_{2}$ acceptor is PEP- Phosphoenol Pyruvate.
D) Maize, pineapple and sugar cane are $C_{4}$ plants.
E) RuBisCo is present in the bundle sheath cells and takes part in Calvin's cycle.
So the correct option is 'Primary ${C O}_{2}$ fixation product- PGA'.
