b. absence of peptidoglycans in the cell walls of archaea.

Explanation:

Archaea is a domain of unicellular organism (procaryotes) that live in extreme environments, their cell walls are made of pseudo peptidoglycan (similar in function to peptidoglycans but different in structure), on the other hand, bacteria's cell walls are made of peptidoglycan and lipopolysaccharide.
