The correct option is B Protista
R.H. Whittaker proposed the Five Kingdom Classification. In his system of classification:

Kingdom Monera includes all the unicellular prokaryotes.

Kingdom Protista includes the unicellular eukaryotes, which are primarily aquatic and they have a well defined nucleus and various other cell organelles.

Kingdom Fungi constitutes a unique kingdom of heterotrophic organisms, which show a great diversity in morphology and habitat.

Kingdom Plantae includes the higher forms of plants from the bryophytes to the angiosperms.

Kingdom Animalia includes all the animals.
