Solution

The correct option is B Cyanobacteria
Blue-green algae are also called as cyanobacteria. They are prokaryotes. They lack membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, the Golgi apparatus. They lack a true nucleus as well. They are photosynthetic organisms. Some blue-green algae are nitrogen-fixing organisms.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Cyanobacteria.'
