Answer:
C. At least five mass-extinction events have occurred during the last 500 million years.
Explanation:
- The history of mass extinct is related to the five mass extinctions that are caused over by the 350 million years n which many species have disappeared in there short geologic time.
- A massive extinction is caused in the Permian Triassic extinction event i.e about 250 mn years ago which on an estimate has killed 90% of the species.
- The Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that occurred over 66 million years ago is known to have wiped out the dinosaurs and many other species.
It oxidies iron and inorganic sulfur compounds. The oxidation process can be harmful, as it produces sulfuric acid, which is a major pollutant. It has been suggested that T. ferrooxidans forms a symbiotic relationship with members of the genus Acidiphilium, a bacterial capable of iron reduction. Other species of Thiobacillus grow in water and sediment; there are both freshwater and marine strains.
The bacteria are usually found in rivers, canals, mine drainage effluents and mining areas. So there may be some source of these bacilli near their house.They require inorganic sources to grow and contain an enzyme called ferrous oxidase that allows them to metabolize iron.

They do, but very slowly. Mostly when growing or wind is hitting it.
Answer:
archaeabacteria ( context clues can often give the answer :)
