Solution

The correct option is D Halophiles
Halophiles are the organisms which can survive in the regions or zones with higher salt concentrations. The halophiles are the primitive bacteria which belong to the group of archaebacteria. These bacteria possess a protein called as bacteriorhodopsin which can capture light. The proton gradient is created and the ATP is synthesized with the use of the sunlight.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
