Solution
The correct option is D Accumulation of KCl
Halophiles are organisms that grow in high salt concentrations. They are also called as salt-loving microorganisms. They are found in hypersaline environments like in arid, coastal, deep‐sea, underground salt mines. They can comfortably live in evaporation ponds or salt lakes due to the accumulation of KCl. By accumulating KCl, they maintain the osmotic balance. Thus, the correct answer is 'Accumulation of KCl.'
