C) Halorubrum
D) Halobacterium
E) Halococcus

Accepted Answer

Halobacterium is the most studied and well-understood haloarchaeon in terms of molecular biology. It has been used as a model organism for the study of DNA replication, transcription, and translation, as well as for the exploration of the role of archaea in evolution. This makes it an ideal choice for molecular biology education.
