What evidence is there that oxygen levels in the sea increased due to photosynthetic bacteria?

(1): global cooling
(2): rust deposits in today’s ocean
(3): rust deposits in the ancient ocean
(4): decreases in anaerobic organisms

The answer is number 3, rust deposits in the ancient ocean.

Explanation:

The question above is highly related to the "Great Oxidation Event" that occurred billions of years ago (or the ancient times).

This event led to an increase in the oxygen, both in the atmosphere, terrestrial and in the oceans. This was primarily because of the existence of "cyanobacteria," the only oxygen photosynthetic bacteria. Due to this, the oxygen oxidized with the iron in the ocean (which was said to be abundant in those days). Thus, this led to the formation of iron oxides (rust deposits) on the floor of the ocean.

This explains the evidence that the oxygen levels in the sea increased due to photosynthetic bacteria.

primary succession begins with a bare rock and ends with a forest secondary succession begins after a natural disaster where there is a temporary setback after a forest fire or local destruction, but the surrounding area can fill in

genetic variation will increase because of a new habitat and food source.
