B. Heterotrophs with tissue/organ/organ system level of body organization.

C. Prokaryotes with cell wall made of polysaccharides and amino acids.

D. Eukaryotic autotrophs with tissue/organ level of body organization.

E. Eukaryotes with cellular body organization.

Choose the correct Ans. from the options given below :

Options

A.$A,C,E,B,D$
B.$C,E,A,D,B$
C.$A,C,E,D,B$
D.$C,E,A,B,D$

Solution

Increasing order of complexity of body organisation in the kingdom given by R.H. Whittaker is as follows

C. Monera-Prokaryotes with cell wall made up of polysaccharide.

↓

E. Protista - Unicellular eukaryotes.

↓

A. Fungi-Multicellular heterotrophic with cell wall made up of chitin.

↓

D. Plantae - Eukaryotes autotrophs with tissue body organisation.

↓

B. Animalia - Heterotrophs with tissue organ/system of body organisation

Correct sequence is $C,E,A,D,B$.
