Detailed explanation-1: -Archaea can be found in the Mud Volcano area, among other places in Yellowstone. Archaea are the most extreme of all extremophiles-some kinds live in the frigid environments of Antarctica, others live in the boiling acidic springs of Yellowstone.
Detailed explanation-2: -"Thermophiles” are microorganisms with optimal growth temperatures between 60 and 108 degrees Celsius, isolated from a number of marine and terrestrial geothermally-heated habitats including shallow terrestrial hot springs, hydrothermal vent systems, sediment from volcanic islands, and deep sea hydrothermal vents.
Detailed explanation-3: -They are prokaryotes which do not have membrane-bound organelles. They have 16S rRNA genes which are genetically different from the other organisms. The lipids in archaebacteria form an S-layer with the amino acids and glycolipids. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
Detailed explanation-4: -Thermophiles. The thermophiles live in extremely hot environments. For example, they can grow in hot springs, geysers, and near volcanoes. Unlike other organisms, they can thrive in temperatures near 100°C, the boiling point of water!
