Answer:
Option D, chloroplast
Step-by-step explanation:
The process of photorespiration starts in the chloroplast when oxygen attaches to the RuBP. This produces three compounds namely – a) Three carbon compound (3-PGA) and b) Two carbon compound (phosphoglycolate). 3-PGA act as an intermediate to the Calvin cycle and before entering this cycle two of its carbon are removed. To recover lost carbon, plants taken in carbon through series of reactions involving phosphoglycolate. One fourth of the total carbon transported through this pathway is released as CO2. Since this entire process takes place in chloroplast, it can be said that CO2 is produced in chloroplast
Hence, option D is correct
