The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the kingdom that is nutritionally the most diverse group of organisms and has a eukaryotic cellular organization. 2. **Identifying the Five Kingdoms**: According to R. H. Whittaker's five kingdom classification, the kingdoms are: - Monera (prokaryotic) - Protista (eukaryotic) - Fungi (eukaryotic) - Plantae (eukaryotic) - Animalia (eukaryotic) 3. **Analyzing Cellular Organization**: - Monera consists of prokaryotic organisms, which do not have a nucleus enclosed in a membrane. - Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia are all eukaryotic, meaning they have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. 4. **Examining Nutritional Modes**: - **Monera**: While they show nutritional diversity (autotrophic and heterotrophic), they are prokaryotic and thus not included. - **Protista**: This kingdom is known for its nutritional diversity. It includes: - Autotrophic organisms (e.g., diatoms, dinoflagellates) that can produce their own food. - Heterotrophic organisms (e.g., Euglena, slime molds) that can be saprotrophic or parasitic. - **Fungi**: Primarily heterotrophic (decomposers). - **Plantae**: Mostly autotrophic (producers). - **Animalia**: Exclusively heterotrophic. 5. **Conclusion**: The kingdom that is nutritionally the most diverse and has eukaryotic cellular organization is **Protista**. This kingdom includes organisms that can be autotrophic, heterotrophic, saprotrophic, and parasitic. ### Final Answer: The kingdom that is nutritionally the most diverse group of organisms and has eukaryotic cellular organization is **Protista**. ---
