The alternative pathways of photosynthesis using the C4 or CAM systems are said to be compromises. Why?

B) C4 compromises on water loss and CAM compromises on photorespiration.
C) Both minimize photorespiration but expend more ATP during carbon fixation.
D) CAM plants allow more water loss, while C4 plants allow less CO2 into the plant.
E) C4 plants allow less water loss but CAM plants allow more water loss.
