Solution

The correct option is B Archaebacteria
Archaebacteria is a group of single-celled prokaryotic organisms that have distinct molecular characteristics which separate them from bacteria as well as from eukaryotes. The archaebacteria are unique in the sense that they live in some of the most harsh habitats such as volcanic hot springs, brine pools and anaerobic black organic mud. Archaebacteria differ from other bacteria in having a different cell wall structure and this feature is responsible for their survival in extreme conditions.
