The correct answer is:
C. Both
Aromatic biosynthesis in plants involves the production of aromatic compounds, such as phenolics, flavonoids, and lignin.
There are two main pathways involved in aromatic biosynthesis:
1. *Shikimic acid pathway*: This pathway involves the conversion of shikimic acid to chorismic acid, which is then converted to aromatic amino acids like phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan.
2. *Acetate hypothesis (Polyketide pathway)*: This pathway involves the condensation of acetyl-CoA units to form polyketides, which are then converted to aromatic compounds like flavonoids and phenolics.
Both pathways contribute to the biosynthesis of aromatic compounds in plants.
