Solution

The correct option is D (1), (2) and (4)
Methanogens are microorganisms that produce methane as a metabolic byproduct in anoxic conditions. They are classified as Archaea, a domain distinct from bacteria. They are common in wetlands, where they are responsible for marsh gas. Cyanobacteria are often called as blue-green algae. Cyanobacteria are a photosynthetic nitrogen fixing group that survive in wide variety of habitats, soils, and water. Mycoplasma refers to a genus of bacteria that lack a cell wall. Mycoplasma can survive without oxygen.
