The correct option is D All of the above
The main issue with two kingdom classification was that it did not differentiate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms and unicellular and multicellular organisms. The two kingdom classification placed all living organisms into two kingdoms called Animalia (animals) and Plantae (plants). This classification was based only on nutrition and locomotion of the organisms. This system of classification was not able to distinguish between photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic organisms.
