Archaebacteria is the right answer.
They are currently known as Archaea, name"Archaebacteria" is a bit outdated. These unicellar prokaryotes were discovered relatively recent (in 70ties).

Answer:

Its about Archaebacteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

Archea means ancient. Archaebacteria are unicellular organisms. All the living forms initially were classified into five kingdom classification which includes: Monera (includes all prokaryotes), protista, fungi, plantae and animalia. Later several genetics and molecular biology studies revealed that a class of prokaryotes is different from all other modern bacteria, these were called archaebacteria. They live in extreme environments like volcanic hot springs, extreme salty or very acidic surroundings.
