The right answer is Carbon fixation

Rubisco (or ribulose-1,5-diphosphate carboxylase / oxygenase) is a plant enzyme involved in the Calvin cycle and more particularly in the fixation of carbon dioxide.

Rubisco, located in chloroplasts, is the most abundant protein in plant biomass and even in total biomass.
