Solution
The correct option is A Five kingdom classification, given by Whittaker
R.H. Whittaker proposed the five kingdom classification in the year 1969. It is the most commonly used classification system. It classifies the organisms into five kingdoms: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. The classification is performed on the basis of the structure of the cell, body organization, the mode of nutrition, reproduction, and the inter-relationship between organisms.
