Solution

The correct option is C Photorespiration
Peroxisomes are involved in photorespiration. Photorespiration is a wasteful process that occurs when RuBP binds to oxygen in presence of RuBisCO. There is no synthesis of sugars rather there is utilisation of ATP. Photorespiration occurs in three organelles - chloroplast, peroxisomes and mitochondria.

Calvin cycle, CAM pathway and C $_{4}$ cycle occur in chloroplasts.
