Which photoreceptor family evolved from bacterial DNA photolyases?

Correct option is B, Cryptochromes. In PSS-Sec-E-Sensory biology problems like this, the accurate statement is Cryptochromes; the others are common mix-ups. Not these: A) Phytochromes; C) Phototropins; D) UVR8. Tissue transport questions usually turn on xylem vs phloem, living vs dead cells, or source vs sink.
