Answer:

The correct answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

The kingdom is the second highest taxonomic rank under the Domain that includes various other ranks and made up of related roups of phylum the third-highest taxonomic rank.

There is no particular number of phylum in each kingdom but only a group of a different but related phylum. Like Plantae kingdom have a different group of phylum and similarly, Animalia kingdom have a various group of related phyla.
