The correct answer is option (b).
Halophiles are the microorganisms that are capable surviving in extreme saline conditions. Thus, they are capable of spoiling food that is preserved in salt.
Psychrophiles are the microorganisms that are capable of growing in extremely low temperatures. These microbes carry out all their normal activities in these temperatures. However, they may not survive extreme salinity. So, the option is incorrect.
Philanthropist refers to a person who uses his/her money and assets in a good and charitable cause. It has no relation to spoilage of food. So, the option is incorrect.
Thermophiles are the microorganisms that survive extreme heat conditions such as temperatures upto 122 degrees. However, they may not survive extreme salinity. So, the option is incorrect.
