The correct Answer is:
A
Anoxygenic photosynthesis (in which `O_(2)` is not released) is seen in Rrhodospirilllum which is a purple non-sulphur bacteria. It helps an organism to trap light energy and store it as chemical energy. Other than this anoxygenic photosynthesis commonly occurs in purple non-sulphur bacteria green sulphur/non-sulphur bacteria, and heliobacteria, etc.
