What is the primary reason that a hot spring will kill a fishplaced in it, but encourage the growth of certain bacteria?

A) At hot spring temperatures, the metabolic activity of thefish's cells is so rapid that it runs out of food reserves anddies; the bacteria feed on the dead fish.
B)Bacterial growth at high temperatures is so rapid that itdeoxygenates the water and kills the fish.
C) Fish cannot directly feed on bacteria, but the bacteria canfeed on dead fish.
D) The bacteria in hot springs are poisonous to fish.
E) The high temperatures denature (destroy) most of the fish'senzymes, but the bacteria have enzymes adapted to the setemperatures.
