Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason(R)

Assertion (A) : In C₄  plants_, photorespiration is negligible.

Reason (R) : C₄ plants have a mechanism that increase the concentration of CO₂ at the RuBisCO enzyme site.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
 

Assertion (A) is true. While C₄ plants have mechanisms to minimize photorespiration compared to C₃ plants, it makes photorespiration negligible.

Reason (R) is also true. C₄ plants have a mechanism known as carbon concentrating mechanisms (CCM), which increases the concentration of CO₂ in the Rubisco enzyme, minimizing the likelihood of oxygen binding to Rubisco and reducing photorespiration. 

Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
