COnly IV
DIII and IV

Solution

Archaebacteria are the prokaryotic organisms. These organisms contain the cell membrane which is made up of the amino acids and glycolipids which are linked by an ether linkage. There is no peptidoglycan as in the bacterial cell wall. They are prokaryotes which do not have membrane-bound organelles. They have 16S rRNA genes which are genetically different from the other organisms. The lipids in archaebacteria form an S-layer with the amino acids and glycolipids. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
