Solution

The correct option is C 3- phosphoglyceric acid
During the dark phase of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide combines with RUBP in the carboxylation reaction catalyzed by enzyme RuBisCo. The carboxylation of RUBP generates 3 PGA or 3 phosphoglyceric acid, which is the first stable product of dark phase.
