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.

How does the mass of an object affect its a its acceleration during free fall
kirill115 [55]
Normally it is seen that objects with more mass accelerates during their free fall than objects having smaller mass. The frictional force of air also known as the drag force get negated by the massive object and so the object gets acceleration during the free fall. If the mass of the object is small, then the frictional force or the drag will slow the object during free fall. In case of vaccum the mass of the object does not matter as there is no drag or frictional force working against it. The objects with greater  or smaller mass will then free fall with the same speed in the vaccum.
