Solution

The correct option is B Chlorobium and Rhodospirillum
Photosynthetic bacteria are those bacteria which are capable of producing energy from the sunlight in a similar way as plants do. However, instead of chlorophyll, they have bacteriochlorophyll to capture sunlight. Examples include purple bacteria, green sulfur bacteria (Chlorobium), Cyanobacteria, anaerobic Rhodospirillum rubrum.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Chlorobium and Rhodospirillum.'
