Solution

The correct option is B Protista
The Kingdom Protista is called ‘grab bag' kingdom because it is such a diverse kingdom and one can get many different unicellular eukaryotic organisms that do not fit into any of the other kingdoms. The organisms in Kingdom Protista are either plant like, animal like, or fungus like.
