Solution

The correct option is B Hatch - Slack cycle
Tropical plants like sugarcane and maize show $C_{4}$ cycle or Hatch Slack pathway in which the carbon dioxide is initially fixed into four carbon atom containing organic acids. These plants do not show photorespiration and hence, show higher efficiency for carbon dioxide fixation as compared to the $C_{3}$ plants.
