Solution

The correct option is B Fungi was included in plantae.
Copeland proposed the four kingdom classification. He grouped all living organisms into four kingdoms, namely Kingdom Monera, Kingdom Protista, Kingdom Metaphyta (Plantae) and Kingdom Metazoa (Animalia).
He included fungi in plantae despite being heterotrophic and having chitinous cell wall.
So, the correct option is 'Fungi was included in plantae'.
