Solution
The correct option is B Chlorella and Scenedesmus.
The Calvin cycle pathway was elucidated in the early 1950s by Melvin Calvin, Andrew Benson and James A.Bassham. Calvin and his colleagues used the unicellular green alga Chlorella and Scenedesmus to study the carbon-assimilation reactions of photosynthesis. They incubated C14 with illuminated suspensions of algae and followed the time course of appearance of reduction cycle compounds.
