(D) The correct answer is $D$. $Thermus$ $aquaticus$ is a bacterium that lives in hot springs. Its $DNA$ polymerase enzyme,known as $Taq$ polymerase,is thermostable. This means it can withstand high temperatures without denaturing. This property is crucial in the Polymerase Chain Reaction $(PCR)$ technique,as it remains active during the high-temperature denaturation step of the $DNA$ double strands.
