The correct response is: He only had two kingdoms, animals and plants.

Carl Linnaeus’s original classification system was based on a two-kingdom approach, classifying living organisms into just plants and animals, while modern classification systems recognize more kingdoms, such as fungi, protists, and bacteria, reflecting a more complex understanding of biological diversity.
