Solution

The correct option is A Perform oxygenic photosynthesis
Cyanobacteria use water molecules in the place of hydrogen sulphide in photosynthesis. Therefore, these produce oxygen in photosynthesis. Thus, they perform oxygenic photosynthesis.
Cyanobacteria possess chlorophyll-a, while bacteria do not contain chlorophyll. Chlorophyll gives them their characteristic blue-green color.
