Solution

The correct option is B Formation of glycolate from phosphoglycolate
A. Formation of glycolate from phosphoglycolate
Reason: The cell organelle bound by a single unit membrane, which was first reported by Rhodin is Peroxisome. The peroxisome is involved in photorespiration. It is a process in C3 plants in which when there is high O2 concentration and temperature, O2 binds with RuBisCO instead of CO2 and form one molecule of phosphoglycerate and phosphoglycolate. The process consists of several steps in which the initial step is the conversion of phosphoglycolate into glycolate and transport of that glycolate in peroxisome. So the correct option is A.
