Solution

The correct option is E

Primary CO2 fixation product - PGA


The primary CO2 fixation product in C4 plants is oxaloacetic acid, which is converted to malic acid or aspartic acid that is transported to the bundle sheath cells where the acid is decarboxylated and the CO2 thus released enters the Calvin cycle.
