Domain ____ includes prokaryotic organisms that live in harsh environment.
A
Bacteria
B
Archaea
C
Eukarya
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The domains Bacteria and Archaea are the ones containing prokaryotic organisms. The Archaea are prokaryotes that inhabit extreme environments, such as inside of volcanoes, while Bacteria are more common organisms, such as E. coli.

Detailed explanation-2: -Archaea that live in extremely hot environments are called thermophiles. Archaea that produce methane are called methanogens. Archaea are known for living in extreme environments, but they also can be found in common environments, like soil.

Detailed explanation-3: -Archaea (/ɑːrˈkiːə/ ( listen) ar-KEE-ə; singular archaeon /ɑːrˈkiːən/) is a domain of single-celled organisms. These microorganisms lack cell nuclei and are therefore prokaryotes.

Detailed explanation-4: -They are: Crenarchaeota, Euryarchaeota, and Korarchaeota. Crenarchaeota consist mostly of hyperthermophiles and thermoacidophiles. Hyperthermophilic microorganisms live in extremely hot or cold environments. Thermoacidophiles are microscopic organisms that live in extremely hot and acidic environments.
