The correct answer is

Stenothermal

Organisms that survive only within a narrow temperature range are called stenothermal (Greek steno- = narrow). They are restricted to thermally stable habitats such as deep oceans or polar waters.

Eurythermal organisms tolerate a wide range; "osmotic" relates to water/solute balance, and "hydrothermal" describes hot-water environments, not tolerance.
