Solution

The correct option is A The $H_{2}$ that reduces $C O_{2}$ comes from $H_{2} S$ that liberates sulphur
$6 C O_{2} + 12 H_{2} S L i g h t \to C_{2} H_{12} O_{6} + 12 S + 6 H_{2} O +$ energy.
Here $H_{2} S$ utilized as a source of hydrogen, which reduces
$C O_{2}$ into glucose. Oxygen is not liberated in
bacterial photosynthesis
