Photorespiration is induced by

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
Photorespiration is induced by High O2 content.
Photorespiration refers to a process in plant metabolism where the enzyme RuBisCO oxygenates RuBP, wasting some of the energy produced by photosynthesis.
This process is induced by a higher concentration of oxygen. RuBisCO enzyme catalyzes the carboxylation of RuBP during the first step of the Calvin cycle, functions as an oxygenase, and oxygen fixation is increased.
