The correct Answer is:
To determine which kingdom has the maximum members from the given list (Rhizobium, Azolla, Ascobolus, Golden Algae, Euglena, Frankia, Nostoc, Anthoceros, Oscillatoria, Rumenococcus), we can categorize each organism based on their biological classification. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Each Organism's Classification**: - **Rhizobium**: This is a bacterium, which belongs to the kingdom **Monera**. - **Azolla**: This is a water fern, which belongs to the kingdom **Plantae**. - **Ascobolus**: This is a type of fungus, which belongs to the kingdom **Fungi**. - **Golden Algae**: This is a type of algae, which belongs to the kingdom **Protista**. - **Euglena**: This is a protist that has characteristics of both plants and animals, also belonging to the kingdom **Protista**. - **Frankia**: This is a bacterium, which belongs to the kingdom **Monera**. - **Nostoc**: This is a cyanobacterium (blue-green algae), which belongs to the kingdom **Monera**. - **Anthoceros**: This is a hornwort, which belongs to the kingdom **Plantae**. - **Oscillatoria**: This is another cyanobacterium, which belongs to the kingdom **Monera**. - **Rumenococcus**: This is a bacterium, which belongs to the kingdom **Monera**. 2. **Count the Members in Each Kingdom**: - **Monera**: Rhizobium, Frankia, Nostoc, Oscillatoria, Rumenococcus (Total: 5 members) - **Plantae**: Azolla, Anthoceros (Total: 2 members) - **Fungi**: Ascobolus (Total: 1 member) - **Protista**: Golden Algae, Euglena (Total: 2 members) 3. **Determine the Kingdom with Maximum Members**: - From the counts, we see that the kingdom with the maximum members is **Monera** with 5 members. ### Conclusion: The kingdom with the maximum members from the provided list is **Monera**. ---

Read the following passage carefully and answer the question given below. Earth in home to more than 16,000 species of plants, animals, fungi, and algae that are currently listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened species. In the U.S. alone, nearly 700 species of animals and 900 species of plants are considered threatened or endangered. Given that human-made threats-such as habitat fragmentation, overhunting, overfishing, global warming, invasive species and pollution-are the major drivers of modern extinctions and population declines, the preservation and recovery of endangered species depend on human awareness and intervention. Endangered Species Day is observed each year on the third Friday of May as a way to both raise awareness of the continued underline("plight") of endangered species and celebrate those that have recovered becuase of conservation efforts. The U.S. Endangered Species Act of 1973 has been credited with the recovery and protection of several prominent American species, including the bald eagle, the American alligator, and the gray wolf. Globally, many governments, non-governmental organizations, and grassroots efforts have made great strides to protect our natural heritage, though the fight to preserve biodiversity is ever ongoing. Which of the following cannot be inferred from the passage?
