Single-celled prokarytoes that are classified by their ability to survive extreme conditions are
A
bacteria
B
archaea
C
protists
D
eukaryotes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Both Bacteria and Archaea are prokaryotes, single-celled microorganisms with no nuclei, and Eukarya includes us and all other animals, plants, fungi, and single-celled protists – all organisms whose cells have nuclei to enclose their DNA apart from the rest of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Single-celled prokaryotes that are classified by their ability to survive extreme conditions are? Archaea.

Detailed explanation-3: -Archaea is the main group to thrive in extreme environments. Although members of this group are generally less versatile than bacteria and eukaryotes, they are generally quite skilled in adapting to different extreme conditions, holding frequently extremophily records.

Detailed explanation-4: -From previous research in archaea, Welander and her team knew that the organisms produce a membrane containing a ringed molecule called a calditol. The group thought this molecule might underlie the species’ ability to withstand environments where other organisms perish.
