Answer:

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

We could just split the two parts of "extremophile'' and we get the gist.

"extremo-" (from Latin extremus) means to the highest degree of something.

"-phile" (from Greek philia), means love.

As a result, the term means "loving being in the highest degree (or something like that)."

To explain things, archaea are adapted to these extreme environments (hence the name extremophiles), except for hyperthermophily. Fungi, for example, live in mining areas, which are acidic and metal enriched.

any different extremes: heat, cold, acid, base, salinity, pressure, and radiation. These different environmental conditions over time have allowed Archaea to evolve with their extreme environments so that they are adapted to them and, in fact, have a hard time acclimating to less extreme conditions
