First transistory chemical formed by reaction between CO2 and RUBP is

  • PGA

  • PGAL/ GAP

  • dihydroxy acetone phosphate

  • 2 carboxy, 3-keto, 1-5 biphosphoribotol


D.

2 carboxy, 3-keto, 1-5 biphosphoribotol

During first phase, also known as carboxylation, of Calvin cycle RUBP or Ribulose-1, 5-biphosphate combine with CO2 in the presence of RUBP carboxylase or rubisco. It produces a transient intermediate compound 2 carboxy, 3-keto, 1-5 biphosphoribotol.
