C4 plants are evolved C3 plants to avoid the process of photorespiration. C4 plants have mesophyll cells and bundle sheath cells. In mesophyll cells, primary \mathrm{CO_{2}} acceptor is PEP (Phosphoenolpyruvate), whereas the Rubisco enzyme is present in the bundle sheath cells. Due to the impervious walls of bundle sheath cells, \mathrm{CO_{2}} cannot reach Rubisco and photorespiration does not occur.

Hence, the correct option is (4)
