Option - (E) : Meiofauna are very small organisms, generally only 0.1 to 2 millimeters (0.004 to 0.08 inch) long.

Explanation:

The are very minute in size and live inside the benthic region of the seabed. Along, with that they are also found to be living in both fresh and sea water, which makes it able to have more nutritional. But, they are however much smaller in body size as compared to other bacterial life inside the environment.
