A few organisms can tolerate and thrive a wide range of temperature. Such animals are called ____ A vast majority of animals are restricted to a narrow range of temperature. Such animals are called ____
A
Eurythermal, stenothermal
B
Stenothermal, eurythermal
C
Thermoscopic, Unthermoscopic
D
Thermophobic, thermophilic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eurythermal organisms are those that are able to tolerate a wide range of temperatures. Organisms that can tolerate only a narrow range are called stenothermal organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stenothermal organisms are those organisms that can survive within a narrow range of temperature.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stenohaline organisms are those that are able to tolerate only a narrow range of salinity. Whereas euryhaline organisms can tolerate a wider range of salinity.

Detailed explanation-4: -One type of extremophiles is called thermophiles. These organisms can survive at very high temperatures. In the 1960s, heat resistant bacteria were discovered in hot springs in Yellowstone National Park.

Detailed explanation-5: -Stenothermal organisms are those which are capable of living or growing within a limited or narrow range of temperature. Stenothermal can be divided into two types; polythermal with higher temperature tolerance and oligothermal with lower temperature tolerance.
