- Protista
- Fungi
- Bacteria
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Protista include all unicellular and colonial eukaryotes except those of green and red algae. The protistan cells are typically eukaryotic having membrane bound organelles like mitochondria, chloroplasts, Golgi bodies, endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus etc. Protista is commonly known as kingdom of unicellular eukaryotes. Kingdom fungi contains achlorophyllous, spore producing, heterotrophic, multicellular or multinucleate eukaryotic organisms (unicellular yeasts are also included amongst fungi because their sexual reproduction is similar to that of some fungi). Monerans are basically unicellular prokaryotes. Archaea (ancient bacteria) are also a type of monerans which live in primitive environment like high temperature, high salt content, acidic pH, etc.

Biological Classification
The process of grouping living organisms into categories is called biological classification. The most modern 5-kingdom classification was put ahead by an eminent scientist R.H.Whittaker. The five-kingdom classification is based on the criteria like cell structure, mode of nutrition, body form, and reproduction. One of the most important characteristics of this system is that it follows the evolutionary sequence of living organisms. The organisms are classified into distinct taxa or levels like Kingdom, Phylum, Division, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. The 5 kingdoms are as follows:
