Organism 'X' is a multicellular, heterotrophic, eukaryote with a chitinous cell wall. In which kingdom will you place it?

Options

  1. AMonera
  2. BAnimalia
  3. CProtista
  4. DFungi

Correct answer

D. Fungi

Step-by-step solution

Organism 'X' is described as a multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryote with a chitinous cell wall. Kingdom Monera consists of prokaryotic organisms. Kingdom Protista consists primarily of unicellular eukaryotes. Kingdom Animalia consists of multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes, but their cells lack a cell wall. Kingdom Fungi consists of mostly multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes that possess a cell wall made of chitin. Therefore, organism 'X' belongs to the kingdom Fungi. Answer: Fungi
