Correct option is D)

  • Archaebacteria are primitive bacteria. 
  • The cell wall is composed of glycolipids, amino acids and glycoproteins which form the S-layer. 
  • There is no peptidoglycan present in the bacterial cell wall. 
  • These organisms can survive in high salt concentration, high temperature, high pressure, etc. 
  • They have genetically different 16S rRNA. 
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
