Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definition of extremophiles: organisms that thrive in extreme environmental conditions such as temperature, pH, or salinity.
Identify the types of extremophiles listed: Psychrophiles (cold-loving), Acidophiles (acid-loving), Halophiles (salt-loving), and Thermophiles (heat-loving).
Recall that enzymes used in detergents need to be stable and active at high temperatures and often in harsh chemical environments.

Conclude that the extremophile type known for producing enzymes used in detergents is Thermophiles due to their heat-resistant enzymes.
