Answer 1

The correct option is D Both B and C

R. H. Whittaker proposed the five kingdom classification. The five kingdoms are- Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia. The basis of classification is by the comparison of the cell structure, body organization, mode of nutrition, etc. The kingdom Plantae contains all the different forms of plants like Algae, bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperm. The land plants are classified under Bryophyta and Tracheophyta (vascular tissue bearing plants) as well as Embryophyta and spermatophyta(seeds bearing)

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
