The correct Answer is:
B
Sugarcane which is a `C_4` plant have highest photosynthetic efficiency due to their unique anatomy which enables them to bind with a low concentration of `CO_2` at high temperature and forming a `C_4` complex which on decarboxylation gives `CO_2` molecule which binds with RUBISCO hence increase the photosynthetic efficiency.
