Solution

The correct option is C Cyanobacteria
The cyanobacteria or the blue-green bacteria represent a group of photosynthetic, mostly photolysis-mediated oxygen-evolving monerans (prokaryotes). These are the only organisms able to perform oxygenic photosynthesis that can also fix nitrogen. So, the correct option is 'Cyanobacteria'.
