Which risk is amplified when some desert plants experience extended drought conditions?

💡 Explanation

Photorespiration rises due to stomata closing to conserve water, increasing O₂ concentration and causing Rubisco to fix oxygen rather than CO₂, therefore wasting energy and slowing growth rather than the other choices, because drought only impacts water efficiency.
