### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding C4 Plants**: C4 plants are a type of plant that has a unique mechanism for photosynthesis, which allows them to efficiently convert carbon dioxide into sugars. They do this through a pathway that produces a four-carbon compound as the first stable product. 2. **Identifying Examples**: The question asks for examples of C4 plants. Common examples of C4 plants include maize (corn), sugarcane, and sorghum. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: The options provided are maize, spinach, cotton, and both A and B. - **Maize**: This is a well-known C4 plant. - **Spinach**: This is a C3 plant, which means it uses a different pathway for photosynthesis. - **Cotton**: This is also a C3 plant. 4. **Conclusion**: Since maize is the only example of a C4 plant among the options given, the correct answer is maize. ### Final Answer: The correct example of a C4 plant is **maize**. ---
