Biological Classification
The five kingdom classification was given by: A. Morgan B. R. Whittaker C. Linnaeus D. Haeckel
Who proposed a five-kingdom classification and named kingdoms as Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia?
R.H. Whittaker in 1969 introduced a Five Kingdom Classification. The kingdoms characterize by him were titled Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
The main principle for analysis used by him include complexity of cell structure (it may be eukaryotic or prokaryotic), complexity of organisms (unicellular or multicellular), thallus organisation, mode of nutrition (autotrophs or heterotrophs or acrophobic), reproduction (sexual or asexual) and phylogenetic relationships (prokaryotes to eukaryotes, unicellular to multicellular organism).
So, the correct answer is option B.

How is the five-kingdom classification advantageous over the two-kingdom classification?
In Whittaker's five kingdom classification, eukaryotes were assigned to:
According to Whittaker, kingdom Monera includes
The separation of living beings into five kingdoms is based on:
