Solution
The correct option is A Stenothermal Stenothermal organisms are those which are capable of living or growing within a limited or narrow range of temperature. Stenothermal can be divided into two types; polythermal with higher temperature tolerance and oligothermal with lower temperature tolerance. The opposite is a eurytherm, an organism, often specifically an ectotherm, that can function at a wide range of different body temperatures. Example for stenothermal organism is Chionoecetes opilio.
