Solution

The correct option is D Arctic crustaceans
Stenothermal organisms are those which can thrive only within a limited temperature range. They could be further categorised into two groups- thermophiles, which can thrive only in high temperatures (at least above 20C), and cryophiles which can thrive only in lower temperatures (below 20C). Corals, some insects and a majority of the reptiles are thermophiles. Salmons, seals and arctic crustaceans are examples of cryophiles.
