Solution
The correct option is B Monera
Based on the observations made by the scientist, the organism is most suited to be classified under kingdom Monera. Organisms belonging to kingdom Monera are unicellular and prokaryotic (no well defined nucleus). Most of these organisms have a cell wall made up of peptidoglycan which is different from the cellulosic cell wall of plants. The mode of nutrition of these organisms can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic.
