C

Phosphoglycerate

D

Oxaloacetate

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In C4 plants the chloroplast of mesophyll cells possess enzyme PEP carboxylase for initial fixation of `CO_2`.The primary acceptor of `CO_2` is phosphoenolpyruvate or PEP. In the presence of PEP carboxylase to form oxaloacetic acid.
