Why do some plants perform C4 photosynthetic pathways instead of the more common C3 pathway?

c4 plants are better adapted to tropical climate.and C4 plants effectively obtains Co2 even when present in low concerntration.this is bc co2 has high affinity for c4 organic acids present in C 4 plants.because of presence of C4 organic acids,plants can tolerate saline and acidic soils.they are able to maintain high area Co2 fixation because of compactly arranged mesophyll cells.

the answer is: metamorphic rocks often show the presence of fossils, also a
