Thermoacidophiles are archaea that live in extremely environments with a pH, such as geysers, thermal vents, and near volcanoes. These archaea are , meaning that they reduce into organic compounds. These archaea use to reduce , releasing protons and as by-products. Compounds containing are typically used as terminal electron acceptors. Because concentrations of protons contribute to a pH, it would make sense that these organisms are found in environments.

the answer is c because it is most logical.

for a different answer set the answer would be because the oxygen in the water had depleted (apex)
