Solution
The correct option is D Chlorella
Carbon fixation pathway in C3 plants was discovered by Calvin, Benson and Basham in unicellular alga Chlorella using C-14 labelled carbon dioxide. They fed radiolabelled carbon dioxide to alga and killed algal cells and isolated the organic compounds at various time intervals, through co-chromatography technique in order to decipher the various compounds into which carbon radio label travels.
