Solution
The correct option is D Prokaryotic cellular organisation
The kingdom Monera is comprised of prokaryotic organisms. The archaebacteria, eubacteria, and cyanobacteria are included under the kingdom Monera. The prokaryotes do not have a well-developed nucleus with the nuclear membrane and other cell organelles such as the mitochondria, etc.
Chitin is present in the cell wall of Fungi.
Thalloid body is present in Thallophyta. and some bryophytes
Rhizoids are hair-like structures that extend from the lower epidermal cells of bryophytes and algae. These are found in fungi too.
