C
C3
D
All of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is CAM plants. Highest water use efficiency is observed in this order CAM> C3>C4 plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -CAM is a temporally controlled plant inorganic CCM that maximizes water-use efficiency (WUE) by shifting all or part of the CO2 uptake to the nighttime, when evapotranspiration rates are reduced compared with the daytime.

Detailed explanation-3: -Drip irrigation has the highest irrigation efficiency.

Detailed explanation-4: -The crops which have high Water Use Efficiency (WUE) are Pearl millet and sorghum. Hence option 1 is correct.
