Solution
The correct option is C Hatch and Slack pathway
Sugar cane is an example for a plant that uses the C4–pathway to fix CO2 in sugars and other biomolecules. The C4–pathway or the Hatch and Slack pathway overcomes the tendency of the enzyme RuBisCO to wastefully fix O2 rather than CO2 during the process of photorespiration. This is achieved by ensuring that RuBisCo works in an environment where there is a lot of CO2 and very little O2.
