D. | Strict aerobes |
Answer» C. Faculative anaerobes | |
Explanation: Facultative anaerobes are organisms that can grow and thrive in both the presence and absence of oxygen. They have the ability to use oxygen for aerobic respiration when it's available, but can also switch to anaerobic respiration or fermentation when oxygen is absent. This adaptability allows them to survive in a wide range of environments. |
