The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks in which category the organism Streptomyces is included. We need to analyze the options provided. 2. **Analyzing Option 1: Fungi**: - Fungi are eukaryotic organisms, meaning their cells have a nucleus. - They are typically multicellular (with some exceptions like yeast). - Streptomyces, however, is a prokaryote (it lacks a defined nucleus) and is not multicellular, so it cannot be classified as a fungus. Therefore, this option is eliminated. 3. **Analyzing Option 2: Actinomycetes**: - Actinomycetes are a group of bacteria that have filamentous structures and exhibit characteristics similar to fungi. - They are prokaryotic and can reproduce through fission or by forming conidia. - Since Streptomyces fits the characteristics of actinomycetes, this option is likely the correct one. 4. **Analyzing Option 3: Eubacteria**: - Eubacteria are a broad category of bacteria that can form endospores. - However, Streptomyces reproduces through conidia, not endospores, which makes this option unsuitable. 5. **Analyzing Option 4: Viruses**: - Viruses are acellular and cannot be classified as living organisms. - Since Streptomyces is a living organism, it cannot be included in the category of viruses. 6. **Conclusion**: After analyzing all the options, we conclude that the correct classification for Streptomyces is under Actinomycetes. **Final Answer**: Streptomyces is included in Actinomycetes. ---
