The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Microbes**: Microbes are tiny organisms that can be found in various environments on Earth. They include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. 2. **Habitats of Microbes**: Microbes are incredibly versatile and can thrive in extreme conditions. They can be found in: - **Thermal Vents**: These are underwater geysers that release heated water and minerals. Microbes found here are known as chemolithotropes, which obtain energy from inorganic compounds. - **Deep Soil**: In deeper layers of soil, where oxygen levels are low, anaerobic bacteria thrive. These bacteria do not require oxygen to survive and are essential for processes like decomposition. - **Highly Acidic Environments**: Some microbes can survive in environments with a low pH (ranging from 1 to 5). These are known as acidophiles, and they have adapted to live in such harsh conditions. 3. **Conclusion**: Microbes can be found in all the mentioned environments: thermal vents, deep soil, and highly acidic environments. Therefore, the correct answer is that microbes can be found in all of the above conditions. ---
