Correct answer: C). As scientists learned more about genetics and biochemistry, some organisms were moved out of existing kingdoms and into new ones.

As the scientist learn and understand more about the genetics and biochemistry they are able to solve the evolutionary puzzles of the life and they know how to classify organism that appears similar to one species but they share common behaviors with the other species.

In 1969 R.H Whittaker give the five kingdoms of classification in his classification three kingdoms were added to previous two kingdoms of classification of plant and animals. These added three kingdoms were Monera, Protista, and Fungi.
