To order the events chronologically from earliest to latest, we can summarize the process as follows:

  1. Single-celled organisms increase (These are some of the earliest forms of life.)
  2. Photosynthetic bacteria release oxygen into the sea (Bacteria begin the process of photosynthesis.)
  3. Oxygen concentration increases in the sea (As more oxygen is produced, it begins to dissolve in the oceans.)
  4. Oxygen concentrates in the atmosphere (Over time, as more oxygen is produced, it starts to accumulate in the atmosphere.)
  5. Many new animal species evolve (The increase in atmospheric oxygen leads to the evolution of more complex life forms, including animals.)

So, the chronological order should look like this:

  1. Single-celled organisms increase
  2. Photosynthetic bacteria release oxygen into the sea
  3. Oxygen concentration increases in the sea
  4. Oxygen concentrates in the atmosphere
  5. Many new animal species evolve

The options you provided seem to differ in phrasing, but the correct sequence should follow this logical progression.
