Match the organisms in Column-I with habitats in Column-II.Column-I: (a) Halophiles, (b) Thermoacidophiles, (c) Methanogens, (d) CyanobacteriaColumn-II: (i) Hot springs, (ii) Aquatic environment, (iii) Guts of ruminants, (iv) Salty areas
- A(a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(iii), (d)-(ii)
- B(a)-(i), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iii), (d)-(iv)
- C(a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(i)
- D(a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(iii), (d)-(i)
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
1. Halophiles: Live in extremely salty areas.2. Thermoacidophiles: Live in hot springs with low pH.3. Methanogens: Found in the guts of ruminants (and marshes).4. Cyanobacteria: Found in diverse aquatic environments (and terrestrial).
