Answer:

b. photosynthesis in which water photolysis produces H , e , and O2 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • Cyanobacteria is the oxygenic microbes that produce oxygen by a process called photosynthesis.
  • Photolysis is the process  by which water molecules split into oxygen and hydrogen during the light reaction of the photosynthesis process.
  • Cyanobacteria produce their food by photosynthesis.
  • Cyanobacteria has chlorophyll that converts carbon dioxide to sugar by carbon fixation.
  • Cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis by using carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water to produce oxygen and carbohydrates.
  • Thus cyanobacteria utilize the energy from light to split the water molecule and produces H, e , and O2.
