Solution
The correct option is C Nitrosomonas
Chemotrophic bacteria are organisms that obtain energy by the oxidation of electron donors in their environment. Chemoautotrophic bacteria uses inorganic energy sources to synthesize organic compounds from carbon dioxide. They obtain their energy from oxidizing inorganic compounds instead of from sunlight. An example of chemoautotrophic bacterium is Nitrosomonas.Thus, the correct answer is 'Nitrosomonas.'
