Payton Love · Answer 2

C. Archaea can live in environments with extreme conditions such as temperature, while bacteria can't.

Explanation:

Archaea are capable of surviving under the extreme condition and so are considered as extremophiles.

However bacteria are more suited towards mild climates and would die in extreme conditions

Archaea are found in unusual environments like in hot springs, ocean depths, salt brines, while bacteria are found everywhere like in the soil, water, living and non-living organisms.
