Which outcome arises when atmospheric CO2 concentration decreases significantly, impacting C4 plants?

A)Photorespiration rate increase drastically
B)Nitrogen fixation enhances rapidly
C)Transpiration efficiency increases notably
D)Secondary metabolite production surges

💡 Explanation

When CO2 levels drop, C4 plants face increased photorespiration because their carbon-concentrating mechanism becomes less effective, leading to greater oxygenase activity of RuBisCO. Therefore photorespiration increases, rather than nitrogen fixation, transpiration, or metabolite production which are influenced by other environmental factors, and pathways.
