Whittaker had proposed a five-kingdom system for classification of living organisms, which are (i) Monera, (ii) Protista, (iii) Plantae, (iv) Fungi and (v) Animalia. However, based on molecular methods of taxonomy, this has now been revised to a three-domain system. These three domains are:

Options

  1. AMonera, Prostista and Eukarya.
  2. BBacteria, Protista and Eukarya.
  3. CBacteria, Archaea and Eukarya.
  4. DBacteria, Plantae and Animalia.

Correct answer

C. Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya.
