O when shielded from sun's harshest rays, surviving tardigrades laid tewer eggs, but the hatched babies were healthy O about 60% of fungal cells had intact membranes and DNA and half managed to reproduce normally and form colonies O haltf of the bacteria spores on the upper side of the EXPOSE platform that simulated Martian sunlight survived

Explanation / Answer

The scientists launched Cryomyces antarticus, a fungi found in the Antarctica into space and studied their behavior. They found that about 65% of C.antarticus cell remain intact even after exposure to extreme cold and ultraviolet radiations in space. Their DNA also remained intact and half of them were able to reproduce normally and able to form colonies. So, the answer for this question is option C (about 60% of fungal cells had intact membranes and DNA and half managed to reproduce normally and form colonies).
