Prokaryotes are the simplest creatures that can survive in a wide range of environments, some of which are so harsh that no other organism can survive.

Option (c) is referred to as the ring of life. All species, or the three domains Archaea, bacteria, and Eukarya, are said to have evolved from a pool of primitive prokaryotes, according to the ring of life hypothesis of evolution. As a result, option is the proper response (c).

The tree of life is offered as option (a). The maximum parsimony approach is used in Tree of Life to connect several known species and to create a phylogenetic tree. As a result, choice (a) is erroneous.

The term "web of life" is used to describe option (b). According to the Web of Life, prokaryotes originated from a variety of species rather than a single primordial prokaryote. Option (b) is thus erroneous.

The network model is option (d). It does not suggest that all life evolved from a pool of basic prokaryotes. Option (d) is thus erroneous.

All three domains of life, Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya, are thought to have evolved from a pool of primitive prokaryotes, according to the Ring of Life theory.
