Could someone help me with this Biology question?

1) The smallest of the single-celled organisms that assist with decomposition in the soil are most likely to have which of the following characteristics?

A) A different form of DNA containing uracil instead of thymine

B) Chitin or cellulose in their cell walls

C) Branching, ether-linked hydrocarbons in their cell membranes

D) A special form of RNA polymerase unique to their domain

~Okay, so I know that it isn't B, because I've selected that before and my teacher told me I was wrong. I'm thinking either C or D? Help, please?

Hi! @GloryLove ! So its not B...ok hmm.. Yeah! Its C here i.e  Branching, ether-linked hydrocarbons in their cell membranes...Archaea is the smallest of the single celled organism which possess this characteristic..:)

That is so helpful! Thank you @shreehari499 ! I had a feeling it was C, but I didn't know what the smallest of the single-celled organisms were in this situation. :) Thank you very much for replying!
