Solution

The correct option is A Ectotherms
  • Ectotherms are cold-blooded animals that depend on external sources to maintain body temperature, while endotherms are the animals that are dependent on the internal metabolism to produce heat for the maintenance of body temperature.
  • Thermophiles are organisms that thrive in conditions of high temperature.
  • Psychotherms are animals that can grow at low temperatures.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
