Answer: (1) photosynthesis occurred

Step-by-step explanation: The photosynthesis process in cianobacteria changed the composition of earth's atmosphera, rising oxygen levels. This could be possible since photosynthesis used energy from the sun to produce energetic intermediaries to synthesize sugars, and as byproduct due to water photolisis, is oxygen.
