Solution

The correct option is C Rhodospirillum
Anoxygenic photosynthesis is the process where light energy is captured and converted to ATP without the production of oxygen. Water is therefore not used as electron donor. Rhodospirillum, a purple non-sulphur bacterium undergoes anoxygenic photosynthesis.
So, the correct answer is option 'c'.
