Solution

The correct option is C All statements are correct
Methanogens are microorganisms that produce methane as a metabolic byproduct in anaerobic conditions. They are prokaryotic and belong to the domain called Archea. Methanogens play a vital ecological role in anaerobic environments. Methanogens are also found in hot springs, submarine hypothermal vents. Methogens are responsible for the production of biogas in gobar gas plants.
So, the correct answer is 'All statements are correct'.
