Answer:

c. endosymbiosis requires high oxygen concentrations for evolution to proceed

Explanation:

Endosymbiosis is an hypothesis which stipulates that complex organelles like mitochondrion and chloroplast evolved as a result of symbiotic relationship between aerobic, single cell prokaryotes in which an aerobic organism ingest an anaerobic organism in an atmosphere containing oxygen.

The oxygen in the atmosphere is like a poison to the anaerobic prokaryote and the ingestion by aerobic prokaryote protects it from the toxic effects of oxygen and in return, the ingested organism offers some benefit to its host resulting in a beneficial relationship.

Hence, the presence of oxygen is important for endosymbiosis and eventual evolution of complex organelles in multicellular organisms.

The correct option is c.
