Solution

The correct option is C Hatch and Slack
Hatch and Slack pathway is a metabolic pathway for carbon-dioxide translocation occurring in $C_{4}$ plants. The overall effect of the pathway is to carry $C O_{2}$ from the mesophyll cells, which are in contact with air, to the bundle-sheath cells, which are the major sites of photosynthesis.
