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.
