Which outcome results when C4 plants experience sustained water stress?

A)Increased oxidative phosphorylation
B)Decreased photorespiration efficiency
C)Reduced malate shuttle activity
D)Enhanced nitrogen fixation rates

💡 Explanation

Reduced malate shuttle activity occurs because of reduced CO2 availability, this slows the C4 pathway and carbon concentration to the Calvin cycle; therefore, malate shuttling diminishes, rather than an increase in efficiency or affecting the unrelated nitrogen fixation process.
