Barophilic prokaryotes:

A $Grow slowly in highly alkaline frozen lakes at high altitudes$
B $Occur in water containing high concentrations of barium hydroxide$
C $Grow and multiply in very deep marine sediments$
D $Readily grown and divides in sea water enriched in any soluble salt of barium$

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Barophilic prokaryotes are microorganisms that grow and multiply in very deep marine sediments. These microorganisms are able to survive in environments with extremely high pressures, which are found in deep-sea sediments. So, the correct answer is option C. Notice that the other options are not correct. Barophilic prokaryotes do not grow slowly in highly alkaline frozen lakes at high altitudes, they do not occur in water containing high concentrations of barium hydroxide, and they do not readily grow and divide in sea water enriched in any soluble salt of barium.
