Diatoms contain chloroplasts that have four membranes. These four membranes are evidence of secondary endosymbiosis (Option c).

<h3>What is secondary endosymbiosis?</h3>

Secondary endosymbiosis is a hypothesis used to explain why diatom chloroplasts have four membranes.

According to this hypothesis, diatoms received different genes from distinct photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic ancestors.

The acquisition of genes of different ancestors led to diatoms having chloroplasts with four membranes.
