Right Answer is: A
SOLUTION
Tardigrades, also known as water bears are near-microscopic animals with long, plump bodies and scrunched-up heads. They can withstand environments close to -272 0C and over 150 0C. They can also resist radiations of high intensity and six times the pressure of the deepest part of the ocean. They are found almost everywhere on earth and can even survive in outer space.
Researchers from the universities of Oxford and Harvard claim that tardigrades will survive even the catastrophic events such as supernovas or large asteroid impacts.
Fun Fact: NASA has chosen Tardigrades as the first creature to voyage past the solar system.
