The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding R.H. Whittaker's five-kingdom classification, we need to identify which of the given criteria were not part of his classification system. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Five Kingdoms**: R.H. Whittaker proposed the five-kingdom classification which includes Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. 2. **Identify the Criteria Used**: The main criteria used by Whittaker for this classification include: - Cell Structure - Thallus Organization - Mode of Nutrition - Reproduction - Phylogenetic Relationships 3. **Analyze the Given Options**: The options provided in the question are: - Cell Structure - Thallus Organization - Mode of Nutrition - Reproduction - Phylogenetic Relationships - Body Organization - Locomotion 4. **Determine Which Criteria Are Not Used**: - From the criteria listed above, we can see that: - Cell Structure, Thallus Organization, Mode of Nutrition, Reproduction, and Phylogenetic Relationships are part of Whittaker's classification. - Body Organization and Locomotion are not part of the criteria used by Whittaker. 5. **Count the Criteria Not Used**: There are 2 criteria (Body Organization and Locomotion) that are not part of R.H. Whittaker's classification criteria. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question is that 2 criteria are not a part of those used by R.H. Whittaker. ### Final Answer: 2 ---
