Answer:

This question is incomplete as it does not contain any provided information. The information is as follows:

Number of cells: Unicellular

Cell type: Prokaryotic

Location found: Underwater volcano

The answer is Archaea

Step-by-step explanation:

Living organisms has been classified into a large group of three called DOMAIN consisting of Bacteria, Eukarya and Archaea. The major basis of this classification is the possession or not of a membrane-bound nucleus.

Domains Bacteria and Archaea do not possess a membrane-bound nucleus and hence, are PROKARYOTIC. However, in addition to being prokaryotic, Domain Archaea members are unicellular (single-celled) and are found in locations with harsh environmental conditions e.g volcano.

Therefore, an organism with a PROKARYOTIC cell type, UNICELLULAR number of cells and found in an UNDERWATER VOLCANO will belong to the domain ARCHAEA.
