Photorespiration and the quantum yield differ between C3 and C4 photosynthesis, with changes particularly noticeable as temperatures vary quantum yield for photosynthesis as a function of leaf temperature in C3 plants and C4 plants. Following are some statements  based on this study.

 a.) In the C4 plants the quantum yield remains constant with temperature, reflecting low rates of photorespiration

 b.) At lower temperatures the quantum yield of C3 plants is higher than that of C4 plants

c.) C3 photosynthesis is more efficient at lower temperatures

 d.) At higher temperatures the quantum yield of C3 plants is higher  than that of C4 plants

 Which one of the following combination of above statements is correct?
