Chlorophyll a occurs in

1. all photosynthetic autotrophs
2. in all higher plants
3. all oxygen liberating autotrophs
4. all plants except fungi

Correct answer: all oxygen liberating autotrophs

Solution

Chlorophyll a is present in organisms that perform oxygenic photosynthesis, where water is split and oxygen is released. That includes all oxygen-liberating autotrophs, not every photosynthetic autotroph because some bacteria use other pigments and do not release oxygen.
