Solution

The correct option is A Branched-chain lipids
Archaea are different from other organisms in the presence of branched-chain lipids in their cell membranes. These lipids give Archaea the ability to withstand extreme situations.

Cellulose is a component of plant cell walls, peptidoglycan is a component of bacterial cell walls, and phospholipids are present in the cell membranes of all organisms.
