Answer:
The correct answer is "photorespiration".
Explanation:
Photorespiration is a process in plants, where molecular oxygen is taken in a light-dependent manner. Photorespiration is often considered a wasteful pathway because it competes with the Calvin cycle, which is much more efficient. In C3 plants the conservation of water promotes photorespiration. This occurs when the C3 plants close its stomata because the environment its too hot, or the carbon dioxide concentration drops to about 50 ppm.
