The correct answer is "All of the above answers are correct."
Early life on Earth was indeed thermophilic (thriving in hot environments), anaerobic (existing in environments without oxygen), microbial (comprising mostly microorganisms), and likely chemosynthetic (deriving energy from chemical reactions) rather than photosynthetic (which requires sunlight).
