Why was the kingdom of protista added?
A
Because there were many prokaryotes that needed a place besides the kingdom of bacteria.
B
Because there were many organisms that are plant-like and animal-like but cannot be solely placed in one kingdom.
C
Because there were a few organisms that were only autotrophs and needed a place to be classified.
D
Because there were a few organisms that were only heterotrophs and needed a place to be classified.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For classification, the protists are divided into three groups: Animal-like protists, which are heterotrophs and have the ability to move. Plant-like protists, which are autotrophs that photosynthesize. Fungi-like protists, which are heterotrophs, and they have cells with cell walls and reproduce by forming spores.

Detailed explanation-2: -What are Protists? Protists are simple eukaryotic organisms that are neither plants nor animals or fungi. Protists are unicellular in nature but can also be found as a colony of cells. Most protists live in water, damp terrestrial environments or even as parasites.

Detailed explanation-3: -They are grouped together because they don’t fit into any other kingdom; put simply, protists are all the eukaryotes that are not animals, plants, or fungi. Generally, protists are microscopic, unicellular organisms, though some (like seaweed) are large and multicellular.
