Solution

The correct option is B Algae
The addition of molecular oxygen to ribulose-1,5-biphosphate produces 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA) and 2-phosphoglycolate (2PG, or PG). PGA is the normal product of carboxylation and productively enters the Calvin cycle. It was discovered as the first CO $_{2}$ fixation product by experiments on algae.
