The correct option is A.
Scientists had discovered that some animals, such as Elysia chlorotica has the capacity to photosynthesize. The animal usually incorporate chloroplast into its cell from the algae which it feeds on. The chloroplast enable it to make proteins which are essential for photosynthesis.

The right answer is A. Some carry out photosynthesis...

The sea slug, Elysia chlorotica, is the first discovered animal able to use photosynthesis to produce energy. This photosynthesis is performed by the chloroplasts of its main food source, the seaweed Vaucheria litorea. They are sequestered by the digestive epithelium of the slug for several months according to a phenomenon of kleptoplasty, continuing their function of carrying out photosynthesis.

However, the chloroplasts of Vaucheria litorea have transferred a large part of their genes required for photosynthesis to the nucleus of the cells of this alga during evolution. Photosynthesis is nevertheless maintained in the sea slug thanks to the transfer of a gene necessary for photosynthesis from the kernel of the seaweed to the genotype of the slug.

Answer: It has multiple nuclei, It is one of the smallest of cells with among the smallest of genomes.

Explanation:

Mycoplasma mycoides is a bacterial strain of the genus Mycoplasma. It belongs to the class of Mollicutes. This is parasitic in nature. It lives in the ruminants. It is smallest known bacteria that does not posses the cell wall. It is present everywhere as a pathogen. It's function is to interfere with the ability of the virus to affect the mammalian cells. It posses multiple nuclei.

It is smallest free-living single celled organism. Due to the small size the entire genome can be sequenced. It can be useful for purpose of research and it is of particular interest because of it's small cell size and multiple nuclei. It serves as a model organism to study the bacterial evolution.
