Question

In the five-kingdom system of classification developed by R. H. Whittaker, members of the kingdom Animalia are heterotrophic, eukaryotic, ______.

• A. Multicellular
• B. Motile
• C. Either unicellular or multicellular
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and B

R. H. Whittaker proposed the five kingdom classification. The five kingdoms are Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia. The organisms that belong to kingdom Animalia are heterotrophic, i.e., they depend on the other organisms for food. These are eukaryotic organisms with well-developed organelles. These are multicellular organisms which are composed of many cells and can perform activities like locomotion.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
