The correct answer is:

Methanogens are included in group Archaebacteria. They are special since they live in some of the most harsh habitats such as marshy areas. Methanogens are present in the gut of several ruminant animals such as cows and buffaloes and they are responsible for the production of methane (biogas) from the dung of these animals. The bacteria which lives in hot springs are known as thermoacidophiles.
