all of these are photosynthetic
fungi
cyanobacteria
two of the these
algae

Explanation:

• Cyanobacteria: They are photosynthetic prokaryotes. They contain chlorophyll - a (similar to plants) and can perform oxygenic photosynthesis.
• Algae: Algae are a diverse group of photosynthetic eukaryotes. They can be unicellular or multicellular and use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds and oxygen.
• Fungi: Fungi are heterotrophic organisms. They obtain nutrients by absorbing organic matter from their environment. They do not have the ability to perform photosynthesis as they lack chlorophyll and other necessary photosynthetic pigments and organelles.

Since cyanobacteria and algae are photosynthetic, while fungi are not, the option “Two of the these” (referring to cyanobacteria and algae) is correct.

Answer:

Two of the these
