Solution

The correct option is C Alga
The use of radioactive $C^{14}$ by Melvin Calvin in algal (chlorella) photosynthesis studies led to the discovery that the first $C O_{2}$ fixation product was a $3$ carbon organic acid. The first product identified was $3 -$ phosphoglyceric acid (PGA).

So, the correct answer is "option B"
