  4. D
    12

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

C4 plants require 12 additional molecules of ATP for the net production of one molecule of hexose sugar compared to C3 plants. This is because C4 plants have a more complex pathway for carbon fixation, which requires more energy in the form of ATP. So, the correct answer is option D. Notice that the other options are not correct. C4 plants do require more ATP than C3 plants, but the exact amount is 12 molecules.
