Answer:

C. Photoautotrophic metabolism

Step-by-step explanation:

Chlorophyll helps in the photosynthesis process and it is main site where photosynthesis is happening. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll capture sunlight energy and transform Carbondioxide into glucose , which is the main energy source for an organism. So if the chlorophyll is present in a bacteria, it means it is going through photoautotropic metabolism.
