Lake Whillans
C
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Highly resilient extremophile bacteria have been found in the highly alkaline waters of Lake Untersee in Antarctica.
These bacteria have adapted to survive in the inhospitable conditions of the lake, and their presence demonstrates the ability of organisms to thrive in extreme environments.
Such findings contribute to the understanding of the potential for life in cold and methane-rich environments, both on Earth and potentially in extraterrestrial settings.
