Answer:

D) He reorganized life into five kingdoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whittaker proposed an elaborate five kingdom classification – Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia. The main criteria of the five kingdom classification were cell structure, body organisation, mode of nutrition and reproduction, and phylogenetic relationships. ... They reproduce both asexually and sexually.
