A
Algae
B
Fungi
C
Protists
D
Bacteria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Prochlorococcus and other ocean phytoplankton are responsible for 70 percent of Earth’s oxygen production.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria all create oxygen. They do this through photosynthesis. Using energy from sunlight, they turn carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Algae & Oxygen Production The most impressive algal species is Prochlorococcus. Despite Prochlorococcus being the smallest photosynthetic organism on Earth, it produces the most oxygen in the ocean.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plankton that are plants, known as phytoplankton, grow and get their own energy through photosynthesis and are responsible for producing an estimated 80% of the world’s oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -In photosynthesis, plants and algae use solar energy to take carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and synthesize sugars. This process produces oxygen as a byproduct, which earth’s animals depend on to breathe.
