Answer:

The correct answer is - it shares some characteristics with bacteria, some to eukarya and some of its own.

Step-by-step explanation:

Archaea shows similarities with both true bacteria and a unique set of characters to eukarya. Eukarya have some similarities such as methanogenesis, thymine in tRNA, and many more.

It also shows similarities to bacteria as they both are prokaryotic and have similar 70 s ribosomes, no cell organelles, and no nuclear envelope. Other than these there are many more that are unique to themself such as cell walls with poly peptidoglycan, and can live in extreme condition.
