    A)                  Mitochondria

    B)                  Peroxysome

    C) Chloroplast

    D) All of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Photorespiration (\[{{\text{C}}_{\text{2}}}\text{-}\]cycle) is a special typed respiration shown by many green plants (\[{{\text{C}}_{3}}\text{-}\]plants) when they are exposed to light. It is a light dependent process during, which \[{{O}_{2}}\] is used and \[C{{O}_{2}}\] is released. The process of photorespiration   takes   place   only  in chlorophyllous tissues of plants. Therefore, the main site for photorespiration is chloroplast. But mitochondria and peroxysomes are also required to complete the process.
