The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Slime moulds do not belong to kingdom- Monera. These belong to kingdom-Fungi division-Myxomycota.These are distinguished from other fungi (Eumycota-true fungi) by the presence in their life cycle of vegetative phase, which devoid of cell wall and either a free living multinucleate, amoeboid mass of protoplasm (plasmodium) or an aggregation of amoebae (pseudoplasmodium). Mycoplasma are bacteria that do not form cell walls. Mycoplasma are unicellular, prokaryotic, non-motile, highly polymorphic and filterable through bacterial filters. Archaebacteria is a group of very primitive prokaryotes, also called living fossils. Eubacteria are typical bacteria. Which were first discovered by Leeuwenhoek (1675) of Holland in stored rain water.

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:
