Correct answer: (D) C₃ plants have specialized anatomy, greater heat/high-light tolerance and less photorespiration than C₄ plants.
Explanation
D assigns the characteristic C₄ adaptations to C₃ plants. C₄ carbon-concentrating mechanisms and associated anatomy generally suppress photorespiration and support high-temperature/high-light performance. The Calvin cycle remains the downstream fixation cycle in both groups. Thus the incorrect statement is **D**.
