C
Protista
D
Animalia
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The plant kingdom has the following characteristic features: They are non-motile. They make their own food and hence are called autotrophs. They reproduce asexually by vegetative propagation or sexually.

Detailed explanation-2: -Kingdom Plantae They are autotrophs, or producers, which means they make their own food through photosynthesis. Plants are multicellular, meaning that they consist of many cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some make their own food, but most take in or absorb food. Most protists move with the help of flagella, pseudopods, or cilia. Some protists, like the one-celled amoeba and paramecium, feed on other organisms. Others, such as the one-celled euglena or the many-celled algae, make their food by photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Members of kingdom Plantae are unique because they can manufacture their food, thus they are autotrophs. They convert the energy from the sun into chemical energy, a process known as photosynthesis, to manufacture their food.

Detailed explanation-5: -Kingdom Animalia includes all the multicellular, eukaryotic, heterotrophic organisms. These animals cannot prepare their own food and hence depend on other organisms for nourishment.
