Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

In CAM plants , `CO_2` enteries into the leaf and is fixed into oxalacetic acid , which is then converted to malic acid at night when stomata are open. This malic acid is stored in cells during night . So, in CAM palnts. Organic acids accumulate for their concentration increases) in the dark (i.e. at night in vacuoles.
