Biological Classification NCERT

The five kingdom classification was proposed by

In Linnaeus’ time, the number of Kingdoms of living organisms was:

In the Two Kingdom classification, the Kingdom Plantae was erroneous with some major issues that include:
I. Placing bacteria and blue green algae with eukaryotic groups
II. Grouping together the unicellular organisms with multicellular ones
III. Placing heterotrophic fungi with autotrophic plants

Who, amongst the following, was the earliest to attempt a more scientific basis of classification?
