In C4 plants:
Statement I: CO2 is initially incorporated into a four-carbon organic acid (either malate or aspartate) in the mesophyll cells.
Statement II: The chloroplasts of the bundle sheath cells convert this CO2 into carbohydrates by the conventional C3 pathway.

Consider the two statements:
Assertion (A): Except for plants in shade or in dense forests, light is rarely a limiting factor for photosynthesis in nature.
