The correct option is B Algae
The five kingdom classification was proposed by R. H. Whittaker which classifies all the living organisms into these five kingdoms. The Protista is a kingdom of simple single-celled eukaryotic organisms. They have well-developed cell organelles on the basis of which they have been classified into plant and animals like protists. The plant-like protists have chlorophyll, can perform photosynthesis and are collectively known as protists.
