The correct answer is: Archaea have some novel features that are absent in other prokaryotes and eukaryotes
A domain of prokaryotic organisms containing the archaebacteria includes the methanogens which produce methane, the thermoacidophilic bacteria which live in an extremely hot and acidic environment and the halophilic bacteria which can only function at high salt concentrations and are abundant in the oceans.
