D. High CO₂ content

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

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.
