Answer: The correct answer is-

C.They replaced carbon dioxide with oxygen in the atmosphere.

Cyanobacteria ( also known as blue green algae) is a large phylum of bacteria that is capable of synthesizing its own food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight ( photosynthesis).

They contain a green pigment called chlorophyll that absorbs energy from sunlight and helps in the formation of food ( glucose). They release oxygen as a byproduct in the atmosphere.

As these organisms utilize carbon dioxide ( that is present in the atmosphere) to give oxygen in return, therefore, they affected early atmosphere of Earth by replacing carbon dioxide with oxygen.

Thus, option C) is the right answer.

The correct answer is option C, They replaced carbon dioxide with oxygen in the atmosphere.

Reason -

Cyanobacteria are aquatic organisms that are capable to phosynthesise and produce their own food.  They are unicellular bacteria found , some 3.5 billion years ago. They produced the oxygen during the Archaean and Proterozoic Eras however before that the atmosphere has an unstable chemical composition which do not support life. They also led to the origin of plants which further added to the production of oxygen in the atmosphere.

How does photosynthesis help to maintain homeostasis in plant cells?
viktelen [127]

Plants maintain homeostasis by keeping their stomata open just enough to allow photosynthesis to take place but not so much that they lose an excessive amount of water.

When plant cells use the food they make, the cells respire, taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide.

- Hope this helps
