Solution

The correct option is C Methane bacteria
Obligate anaerobes are organisms which grow in absence of oxygen. In presence of oxygen, they cannot survive. The example includes methane producing bacteria or methanogens. They obtain their energy without consumption of oxygen. Other examples include Clostridium species.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Methane bacteria.'
