Question

Barophilic prokaryotes -

• A. Grow slowly in highly alkaline frozen lakes
  at high altitudes
• B. Grow and multiply in very deep marine
  sediments
• C. Readily grow and divide in sea water
  enriched in any soluble salt of barium
• D. Occur in water containing high
  concentrations of barium hydroxide

Answer 1

The correct option is B Grow and multiply in very deep marine

sediments

Barophilic prokaryotes grow and multiply in very deep marine sediments. A barophilic prokaryote, also generally defined as a barophile, is a type of organism which occurs and exists at high-pressure zones, like a deep-sea bacteria and archaebacteria.

So, the correct answer is 'Grow and multiply in very deep marine sediments'.
