Answer:

The answer is d. protists

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The diagram is a phylogenetic tree of all eukaryotes.
  • Protists are predominantly single celled, eukaryotic organisms that inhabit almost all environments on Earth.
  • Due to the compelling molecular genetics data, protists are declared to be the common ancestor for the kingdoms, animalia and plantae.
