      A green algae Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B photosynthetic bacteria Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C green sulfur bacteria Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D higher plants Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Green sulfur bacteria lack chlorophyll-a, relying on bacteriochlorophyll for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll-a is found in higher plants, green algae, and photosynthetic bacteria. Information Booster:                     

      1. Chlorophyll-a is the primary pigment in oxygenic photosynthesis.
      2. Green sulfur bacteria perform anoxygenic photosynthesis.
      3. Bacteriochlorophyll absorbs light wavelengths different from chlorophyll-a.
