The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the three major domains of life proposed by Carl Woese. 2. **Identifying the Domains**: Carl Woese proposed a classification system that divides all living organisms into three domains: - **Eubacteria** (also known as Bacteria) - **Archaea** - **Eukarya** 3. **Explaining Each Domain**: - **Eubacteria**: This domain includes all true bacteria, characterized by their prokaryotic cell structure, which means they lack a nucleus. - **Archaea**: Similar to Eubacteria in being prokaryotic, but they have distinct biochemical and genetic properties. They often inhabit extreme environments and include organisms such as methanogens, halophiles, and thermophiles. - **Eukarya**: This domain includes all eukaryotic organisms, which have a nucleus and include kingdoms such as fungi, plants, and animals. 4. **Reviewing the Options**: The options provided in the question are: - A) Eubacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya - B) Monera, Plantae, and Animalia - C) Bacteria, Plantae, and Eukarya - D) Cyanobacteria, Plantae, and Animalia 5. **Analyzing the Options**: - Option A correctly lists the three domains proposed by Woese. - Options B, C, and D do not accurately reflect Woese's classification and include outdated or incorrect terms. 6. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question is **A) Eubacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya**. ---
