Does not operate because PEP carboxylase fixes most of CO2C{{O}_{2}} and leaves only a little of it for Calvin cycle

B

operates in the stroma of bundles heath chloroplasts

C

operates in the grana of bundle sheath chloroplasts

D

operates in the mesophyll chloroplast only

Answer

operates in the stroma of bundles heath chloroplasts

Explanation
