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?

Energy partitioning between two photosystem protects them from quick dessipation or quick inactivation this energy partitioning take place by a protein kinase that can phosphorylate a specific threonine residue on the surface of LHCII, what is the role of LHCII in phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated state?

a.) LHCII in phosphorylated state migrate towards the PSI in the unstacked region and delivers energy to the PSI 

b.) LHCII in nonphosphorylated state moves back to the grana and delivers energy to the PSII

c.) LHCII in phosphorylated state migrate towards the PSII in the stacked region and delivers energy to the PSI 

d.)  LHCII in nonphosphorylated state moves towards the stroma lamellae unstacked region and delivers energy to the PSII 

Which of the following combination is CORRECT?
