The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Yeasts**: Yeasts are unicellular organisms that belong to a specific group within a larger classification system. They are not multicellular like many other fungi. 2. **Five Kingdom Classification**: In the five kingdom classification system, organisms are categorized into five kingdoms: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. 3. **Identifying the Correct Kingdom**: - **Monera**: This kingdom includes unicellular prokaryotes, which do not include yeasts. - **Protista**: This kingdom consists of unicellular eukaryotes, but yeasts are not classified here. - **Fungi**: This kingdom includes all fungi, which are primarily multicellular but also includes unicellular forms like yeasts. 4. **Yeasts in Fungi**: Yeasts are classified under the kingdom Fungi, specifically in the group known as Ascomycetes (or sac fungi). The most common yeast is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is widely used in baking and brewing. 5. **Conclusion**: Since yeasts are unicellular fungi, the correct answer to the question is that yeasts belong to the kingdom Fungi. **Final Answer**: Yeasts are members of the kingdom Fungi. ---
