Solution

The correct option is B higher
The $C_{4}$ plants respond to higher temperatures and show higher rate of photosynthesis while $C_{3}$ plants have a much lower temperature optimum. The temperature optimum for photosynthesis of different plants depends on the habitat that they are adapted to. Tropical plants have a higher temperature optimum than the plants adapted to temperate climates as tropical areas have higher temperature as compared to temperate areas. SO, the correct answer is 'higher'.
