A crucial photosynthetic gene of the cyanobacterium that gave rise to the cyanelle is called psaE. This gene is present in the nuclear genome of the cercozoan, but is not in the genome of the cyanelle. This is evidence of

A) reciprocal mutations in the cyanelle and nuclear genomes.
B) horizontal gene transfer from bacterium to eukaryotes.
C) genetic recombination involving a protist and an archaean.
D) the origin of photosynthesis in protists.
E) transduction by a phage that infects both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
