Correct answer: B
Methanogens belong to archaebacteria.
They include methane producing genera such as
Methanobacillus and Methanothrix.
Methanogens
are obligate anaerobes found in oxygen-deficient
environments, such as marshes, swamps, sludge
(formed during sewage treatment) and the digestive
systems of ruminants. Mostly they obtain their
energy by reducing carbon dioxide and oxidising
hydrogen, with the production of methane
