Which carbon fixation enhancement results when some grasses exploit spatial separation?

A)Reduces photorespiration in bundle sheath cells
B)Increases nocturnal stomatal opening rates
C)Decreases RuBisCO oxygen affinity directly
D)Maximizes transpiration during peak sunlight

💡 Explanation

C4 plants use spatial separation to concentrate CO2 where RuBisCO operates, which reduces photorespiration through the C4 pathway because PEP carboxylase fixes CO2 in mesophyll cells into a four-carbon molecule; therefore, photorespiration decreases, rather than other mechanisms like modifying RuBisCO.
