Solution
The correct option is B Archaebacteria There are three major known groups of Archaebacteria, namely methanogens, halophiles and thermophiles. Halophiles are organisms that thrive in high salt concentrations. They are found in hypersaline environments like in arid, coastal, deep‐sea, underground salt mines. Thermophiles are organisms that thrive extreme temperatures.
