Answer:
C.ribulose-1,5- biphosphate
Explanation:
The resulting six-carbon molecule is unstable and immediately splits into two molecules, a phosphorylated three-carbon molecule (3-phosphoglycerate, abbreviated as 3-PGA). The enzyme performing this reaction is called ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco).
