P. RuBP 1. First stable product in C₃ plants
Q. 3-PGA 2. CO₂ acceptor in C₃ plants
R. RuBisCO 3. Carboxylating enzyme in C₃ plants
S. NADPH 4. Reducing power for the Calvin cycle

(a) P-2, Q-1, R-3, S-4 Correct
(b) P-3, Q-1, R-2, S-4 Your answer
(c) P-2, Q-3, R-1, S-4 Your answer
(d) P-1, Q-2, R-3, S-4 Your answer

Your answer: Correct answer: (a)

Explanation

Why (a) is correct

RuBP is the CO₂ acceptor (2), 3-PGA is the first stable product (1), RuBisCO is the carboxylating enzyme (3), and NADPH is the reducing power (4). So P-2, Q-1, R-3, S-4.

Why the other options are wrong

(b) · your answer This swaps RuBP and RuBisCO.
(c) · your answer This mixes up 3-PGA and RuBisCO.
(d) · your answer This swaps RuBP and 3-PGA.

NCERT point: C₃: RuBP + CO₂ → 2 PGA (RuBisCO).
