Hint: Living organisms are divided and placed into different kingdoms and phylum, on the basis of their similarities and dissimilarities due to evolution. The living organism is placed into five different kingdoms named monera, Protista, fungi, plants, and Animalia.

Complete answer: Euglena is a single-cell flagellated eukaryotic organism that is composed of 54 genera and 800 species. It is found in freshwater and marine water. It is used in the laboratory as a model organism. It belongs to the kingdom Protista.
-Fungi:- It is one of the five kingdoms which consist of 100,000 species, they are heterotrophic, spore-forming, non-vascular, achlorophyllous, and eukaryotic organisms. Their cell wall is made up of chitin or fungal cellulose and glycogen is a reserve food material. The study of fungi is called mycology.
-Plantae:- It is the eukaryotic multicellular living organism that shows the photosynthetic process and acts as the producer in the ecosystem maintaining the harmony of the ecosystem. Their body is divided into roots, shoots, and leaves. They are divide into cryptogamme (flower and seed-bearing plants) and phanerogamme (a plant with seeds and sex organs visible).
-Protista:- The kingdom Protista is proposed by Ernst Haeckel and this kingdom acts as a connecting link between kingdom prokaryotes. They are mostly aquatic found in seas, freshwater, and moist soil. They are microscopic, enclosed by a plasma membrane, and contain subcellular organelle such as 80S ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, centriole, golgi bodies along with nucleus which is enclosed nuclear membrane. For example, protists are dinoflagellates, chrysophytes, euglenoids, slime mould protists, and protozoan protists.
-Monera:- It is one of the five kingdoms in which prokaryotic organisms are placed who are a primitive type of organism some are fed on the host cell some show symbiotic relation. They are called prokaryotes because their nucleus is present in cell cytoplasm without a nuclear membrane.
Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

Note: A part of this animal kingdom is also present which include mainly consumers who feed on plants or other animals, animals are a eukaryotic multicellular living organism and they are found in freshwater, marine water, inside the soil, on land or trees. Animal cells lack chloroplast and cell wall.
