Identify the reason for photorespiration not occurring in C4 plant

Question

Identify the reason for photorespiration not occurring in C4 plant (A) O2 is not released in C4 plant during photosynthesis (B) intracellular concentration of CO2 is high in bundle sheath (C) the intracellular concentration of CO2 is low in bundle sheath cells (D) the intracellular concentration of CO2 is high in bundle sheath and mesophyll cells

Photorespiration is followed when the enzyme Rubisco does not get enough carbon dioxide and is exposed to a higher concentration of oxygen. In C4 plants, bundle sheath cells maintain a high level of CO2 to keep the Rubisco engaged in reducing CO2 and making glucose.
