‘Kranz anatomy’ is a characteristic feature of

  1. C3 plants

  2. C2 plants

  3. C4 plants

  4. any angiospemic plant


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

 'Kranz anatomy’ is a special structure in the leaves of plants that have a C4 pathway of carbon dioxide fixation. The leaves contain a ring of mesophyll cells, containing a few small chloroplasts concerned with the initial fixing of carbon dioxide, surrounding a sheath of parenchyma cells.
