  1. Chlorella
  2. Stelaria media
  3. Oscillatonia
  4. Cladophora

A
Stelaria media
B
Chlorella
C
Cladophora
D
Oscillatonia
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The first action spectrum was made by T. W. Engelmann, who split light into its components by the prism and then illuminated Cladophora placed in a suspension of aerobic bacteria. He found that bacteria accumulated in the region of blue and red light of the split spectrum. So, the correct option is "D" (Cladophora).
