Solution
The correct option is A Photorespiration
Photorespiration is a characteristic of C3 plants. It is not present in C4 plants. In the photorespiratory pathway, there is neither synthesis of sugars, nor of ATP. Rather it results in the release of CO2 with the utilisation of ATP. In the photorespiratory pathway there is no synthesis of ATP or NADPH. Therefore, photorespiration is a wasteful process.
