(a) Eubacteria
(b) Blue-green algae
(c) Saprophytic fungi
(d) Archaebacteria

(d) Archaebacteria
Archaebacteria can survive in harsh conditions due to the presence of a branched lipid chain in the cell membrane that reduces the fluidity of the cell membrane. It includes halophiles which are exclusively found in saline habitats.
