Answer:
c. photosynthesize.
Explanation:
It is believed that it was life itself that originated all this oxygen present on the planet and promoted the change in the composition of the earth's atmosphere. This change would have begun, according to paleontologists, when the ability to perform photosynthesis emerged during the evolution of living beings. Commonly associated with plants, the ability to produce oxygen is also common to bacteria such as blue algae, unicellular beings that live in the oceans and, despite their name, are more similar to bacteria than algae. The great virtue of photosynthesis is to convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into energy for metabolism. As a byproduct, oxygen is released.
