Question

The five kingdom classification was done on the basis of:

• A. Cell structure
• B. Mode of nutrition
• C. Reproduction
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

In 1969, Robert Whittaker proposed the five kingdom classification. In his proposed classification, he divided organisms into five kingdoms: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. These groups were formed on the basis of their cell structure, mode, and source of nutrition, body organization, reproduction, and inter-relationships between organisms.

So, the correct answer is option D.
