Solution

The correct option is C Chlorella
Warburg in 1920 found green alga Chlorella to be useful for photosynthesis experiments. The earliest experiments on the pathways of carbon in photosynthetic and heterotrophic metabolism using radioactive carbon, as a tracer were performed by Samuel Ruben, Martin Kamen and their colleagues.
