Which primary consequence minimizes photorespiration in C4 plants under hot, dry conditions?

💡 Explanation

Under heat, C4 plants spatially separate initial carbon fixation using PEP carboxylase in mesophyll cells and then transfer fixed carbon to bundle sheath cells containing rubisco, minimizing oxygen exposure. Therefore option A results, rather than the other responses which don't address spatial biochemical separation needed to handle heat stress.
