Answer:

Plants that do not use PEP-carboxylase in carbon fixation are called C3 plants because the primary carboxylation reaction, catalyzed by RuBisCO, produces the three-carbon 3-phosphoglyceric acids directly in the Calvin-Benson cycle.

because the first stable product formed in C3 cycle is 3-Phosphoglyceraldehyde or 3-PGA which is a 3C compound
