In five kingdom system, the main basis of classification is

  1. structure of nucleus
  2. mode of nutrition
  3. structure of cell wall
  4. asexual reproduction.

Answer

(2) mode of nutrition

Solution

As per NCERT, R.H. Whittaker (1969) proposed the five kingdom classification: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.

∵ The main criteria were cell structure, body organisation, mode of nutrition, reproduction and phylogenetic relationships.

⇒ Among these, the mode of nutrition (autotrophic, heterotrophic – saprophytic/parasitic, holozoic) was the main basis that separated Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.

∴ The main basis of classification is the mode of nutrition.
