Which outcome occurs when an CAM plant's carboxylase access malate rather than RuBP?

A)Inefficient carbon fixation nighttime
B)Reduced photorespiration during the day
C)Increased oxygen radical production
D)Accelerated translocation during daylight

The CAM pathway plants limits photorespiration, so increased access of carboxylase results in better carbon capture via spatial separation; rather than generating wasteful intermediates that happen in C3 Plants because this minimize the amount of water because of hot environment.
