The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a kingdom of organisms that can both feed like animals and perform photosynthesis like plants. 2. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option A: Monera**: This kingdom includes unicellular prokaryotes like bacteria. These organisms do not exhibit both animal-like feeding and plant-like photosynthesis. Thus, this option is incorrect. - **Option B: Protista**: This kingdom includes a diverse group of mostly unicellular organisms, such as protozoa and algae. Some protists can perform photosynthesis (like plants) and also exhibit heterotrophic feeding (like animals). For example, Euglena can photosynthesize in light and feed heterotrophically in the dark. This makes Protista the correct answer. - **Option C: Mycota**: This kingdom consists of fungi, which do not perform photosynthesis. Fungi are heterotrophic and do not exhibit plant-like characteristics, making this option incorrect. - **Option D: Animalia**: This kingdom includes all animals, which do not perform photosynthesis. Therefore, this option is also incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: After evaluating all the options, the kingdom that includes organisms that can feed like animals and perform photosynthesis like plants is **Protista**. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is **B: Protista**. ---
