Solution

The correct option is C 16S rRNA gene
Carl Woese divided the prokaryotes into two kingdoms, called as Eubacteria and Archaebacteria on the basis of the structures of the 16 S rRNA genes. In 1990, Carl Woese proposed the three domain systems, which includes the Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, and Eukaryota. These three domains represent the three primary lines of descent which were classified and described as domains, which were commonly named as bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. These domains comprised of 6 kingdoms.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
