detailed solution

Correct option is A

The CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is only 0.03 to 0.04% by volume. But the optimum CO2 concentration for photosynthesis in C3 plants is 0.045% by volume. In C3 plants photosynthesis is limited by CO2 concentration. Only during cloudy days and plants growing in shades, light is the limiting factor.
