Which outcome sharply reduces resource use inside water-stressed CAM plants?

A)Daytime stomatal closing duration decreases
B)Malate decarboxylation only during daylight
C)PEP carboxylase always captures external carbon
D)Rubisco activity is localized to mesophyll

💡 Explanation

Malate decarboxylation produces CO₂ locally only during light-dependent reactions because this recycling minimizes wasteful photorespiration. Therefore, water use and CO₂ need decreases, rather than altering diffusion through open stomata.
