Solution

The correct option is C Methanogens
Methanogens are those types of archebacteria which are found in marshy areas. They are also present in the guts of several ruminant animals such as cows and buffaloes and they are responsible for the production of methane (biogas) from the dung of these animals.

Halophiles are found in extreme salty areas while thermoacidophiles are found in hot springs.
