Plantae
B
Eubacteria
C
Archaeabacteria
D
Animalia
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Members of the kingdom Animalia are eukaryotic organisms. They reproduce sexually or asexually through parthenogenesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Members in the kingdom Animalia can reproduce sexually or asexually. Sexual reproduction involves two parents, and their gametes must fuse to reproduce an offspring. On the other hand, some animals bring forth new organisms without the fusion of gametes. This type of reproduction is known as asexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sexual reproduction is the most common life cycle in multicellular eukaryotes, such as animals, fungi and plants. Sexual reproduction also occurs in some unicellular eukaryotes. Sexual reproduction does not occur in prokaryotes, unicellular organisms without cell nuclei, such bacteria and archaea.

Detailed explanation-4: -The kingdom Animalia is the most evolved and is divided into two large groups-vertebrates and invertebrates. These animals are multi-celled, heterotrophic eukaryotes with aerobic respiration, sexual reproduction and the ability to move.
