Solution:

For the classification of living organisms RH Whittaker $(1969)$ proposed a five kingdom system of classification. He designated these five kingdoms as:
(a) Monera-It includes all prokaryotic organisms including bacteria and blue-green algae.
(b) Protista-It includes eukaryotic unicellular organisms, eg. Amoeba.
(c) Plantae-It includes algae, bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymmnosperms and angiosperms.
(d) Fungi-It includes fungi. (e) Animalia-It includes multicellular animals.
