Answer 1

Answer:

D. Photo bioreactor

A photobioreactor (PBR) is a device that uses light to grow organisms that photosynthesize, such as algae, cyanobacteria, and some mosses. PBRs use artificial light or solar light to provide the right conditions for the organisms to grow, including the right amount of light, carbon dioxide, and nutrients.
