Consider the two statements:
I: Current availability of carbon dioxide levels is limiting to the C4 plants.
II: C3 plants have a much lower temperature optimum than C4 plants.

Photosynthesis in C4 plants is relatively less limited by atmospheric CO2 levels because

1. The primary fixation of CO2 is mediated via PEP carboxylase.
2. Effective pumping of CO2 into bundle sheath cells.
3. Four carbon acids are the primary initial CO2 fixation products.
4. RuBisCO in C4 plants has higher affinity for CO2.

Consider the two statements:

I. The C4 photosynthesis pathway uses more energy than the C3 photosynthesis pathway.
II. C4 plants are able to more efficiently fix carbon in drought, high temperatures, and in limitations of nitrogen or CO2.
 
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. Only I is correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
