Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Plant and animal kingdoms

Step-by-step explanation:

In biology, the Linnaean system was one of the first system used to classified living organisms, this was proposed by Carl Linnaeus in 1735 and included three main kingdoms: the plant kingdom, the animal kingdom and finally the mineral kingdom that classified not living materials. On the other hand, the Whittaker system of classification was proposed in 1969 by Robert H. Whittaker who based on new knowledge proposed a system with five kingdoms: the plant kingdom, the animal kingdom, the monera kingdom, the protist kingdom, and the fungi kingdom. Considering this, it can be concluded the kingdoms that are included in both Linnaean and Whittaker systems of classification are plant and animal kingdoms.

Answer 2

linnaen classification was 2 kingdom classification,named plantae and animalia, on the basis of nutrition w.h.whittaker included 5 kingdom classification monera,protista,fungi,plantae,animalia. so option b)plant and animal kingdom is right, actually linnaeus put all protists,monerans,and plants in one kingdom plantae,though they have different cell structure,and mode of nutrition.
