Solution

The correct option is B Inorganic chemicals
Chemosynthetic bacteria or chemoautotrophs do not need sunlight to grow because they prepare their food without the help of light. They use inorganic chemicals as a source of energy and convert into organic substances. They obtain energy from oxidation of organic substances.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Inorganic chemicals.'
