Compensation point is the value of the factor where there is

1. Neither photosynthesis nor respiration
2. Little photosynthesis
3. Photosynthesis is equal to the rate of respiration
4. Beginning of photosynthesis

Correct answer: Photosynthesis is equal to the rate of respiration

Solution

The compensation point is when the rate of photosynthesis matches the rate of respiration, so there is no net gain or loss of organic matter. This balance is why the plant is neither accumulating nor losing carbon overall.
