  3. C
    grana of chloroplasts and peroxisomes
  4. D
    stroma of chloroplasts

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In photorespiration, oxygen is consumed first in the stroma of the chloroplast (where RuBP is oxidized to phosphoglycolate by Rubisco) and later in the peroxisomes (during the oxidation of glycolate).
