Hydrothermal vents are fissures on the ocean floor that discharge geothermal-heated water. They are like hot springs or geysers on the ocean floor.
Hydrothermal vents are home to chemoautotrophic bacteria. They use chemical compounds particularly hydrogen sulfide as energy sources to make food.
So, the correct answer is - They are home to bacteria that can make food from the chemicals found there.
Other options-
They are found in holes in the middle of a tectonic plate - incorrect ( They are found in places where two tectonic plates are diverging and new crust is formed)
They provide light to photosynthetic bacteria - incorrect ( chemoautotrophic bacteria are mostly present in hydrothermal vents and they use chemical compounds as source of energy)
No organisms are able to live anywhere near them - incorrect ( hydrothermal vents are home to several organisms such as octopus, crabs and tubeworms )
