During photorespiration under low CO₂ and high O₂ levels, O₂ reacts with ribulose 1, 5 - bisphosphate to yield

1. one molecule each of 3-phosp-hoglycerate and 2-phosphoglycolate
2. two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate
3. two molecules of 2-phosphoglycolate
4. one molecule each of 3-phosp- hoglycerate and glyoxylate

Correct Option: A
