Solution

The correct option is D Monera
Bacteria are the sole members of the Kingdom Monera. They include Archaebacteria and Eubacteria. Archaebacteria differ from other bacteria in having a different cell wall structure and this feature is responsible for their survival in extreme conditions. Eubacteria are characterized by the presence of a rigid cell wall and if motile, a flagellum. Cyanobacteria have chlorophyll a similar to green plants and are photosynthetic autotrophs. The cyanobacteria are unicellular, colonial, or filamentous, freshwater marine or terrestrial algae.
So the correct option is "Monera".
