Solution

The correct option is A Obligate anaerobes
Methane-producing methanogens are called obligate anaerobes. Their energy-generating metabolic processes are not coupled with the consumption of oxygen. Anaerobes are bacteria that can grow in both the presence or absence of oxygen.
So, the correct answer is option A.
