1 answer

The characteristics described in the table fit best with C. kingdom Protista.

Here's a brief explanation for each option:

A. Kingdom Fungi - Mostly multicellular and heterotrophic, but they don't typically contain single-celled forms that are notable exceptions like Protista.

B. Kingdom Plantae - Primarily multicellular and almost entirely autotrophic (photosynthetic), not heterotrophs.

C. Kingdom Protista - This kingdom includes both single-celled and multicellular organisms, and members can be either autotrophic (like algae) or heterotrophic (like protozoa).

D. Kingdom Animalia - Animals are typically multicellular and heterotrophic, with no significant single-celled organisms.

Therefore, the answer is C. kingdom Protista.
