Solution

The correct option is B Photorespiration
Photorespiration is quite different from respiration as no ATP or NADH are produced, the energy released being lost as heat. Moreover, the process is harmful to plants because as much as half the photosynthetically fixed CO2 (in the form of RuBP) may be lost into the atmosphere through this process.
