Evolutionary speaking, C4 plants are more advanced. They evolved from C3 plants, and feature a C4 carbon fixation mechanism that reduces loss of water from transpiration (which is a problem for C3 plants). They only represent about 5% of plants though, and they thrive in dry, locations with lots of sunlight.
