Answer:D) 5-carbon compound

Explanation: During the light independent reactions, the first step in the cycle is carbon dioxide fixation in which three molecules of carbon dioxide is fixed into three molecules of a 5 - carbon compound known as ribulose 1, 5 - bisphosphate in a reaction catalyzed by ribulose 1, 5 - bisphosphate carboxylase (rubisco)
