A.
eubacteria and archaea
Thermophiles live in hot places, typically from 60o to 80oC. Many thermophiles (some eubacteria and archaebacteria) are autotrophs and have metabolisms based on sulphur. Some thermophilic archaebacteria form the basis of food webs around deep- sea thermal vents, where they must withstand extreme temperature and pressure. Archaebacteria can grow in highly acidic (pH = 0.7) and very basic (pH= 11) environments.

A country with a high rate of population growth took measures to reduce it. The figure below shows age-sex pyramids of populations. A and B twenty years apart. Select the correct interpretation about them
Interpretations
'A' is more recent and shows slight reduction in the growth rate
'B' is earlier pyramid and shows stabilised
'B' is more recent showing that population is very young
'B' is more recent showing that population is very young
