Blackman demonstrated that increasing illumination increased the photosynthetic rate up to a point when $CO_2$ becomes limiting. If light was not limiting,temperature becomes limiting. Emerson found that maximum $CO_2$ fixation could be achieved with brief flashes of light. Mark the correct statement in the following:
