Solution

The correct option is C four kingdoms
  • R.H. Whittaker proposed a five-kingdom classification. According to this classification living world is divided into five kingdoms:- Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
  • Among five kingdoms, only Monera is prokaryotic, and the remaining four include eukaryotic organisms.

So the correct option is "four kingdoms".
