D.
CAM plants

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Kranz type of anatomy is found in or is typical of C4-plants.
C4 plants include many tropical grasses and are among the world's most important crop species (maize, sugar cane).
The main role, as well as the point of the importance of the Kranz Anatomy, is that it provides the perfect site for CO2 or carbon dioxide to be concentrated. This happens to surround the RuBisCO. This helps in the continuous fixation of the carbon dioxide that keeps the levels of CO2 more at any given point in time. The function that makes it all the more significant is that it helps in avoiding photorespiration.
