Solution
The correct option is B II only
The archaebacteria are the single-celled, prokaryotic organisms. They do not have well-developed organelles and cellular structures. These organisms can survive in extreme conditions like high temperatures, high salt concentration, high temperature, etc. Some organisms from this group can produce methane through the process of methanogenesis. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
