| Assertion(A): | The two kingdom classification used for a long time was found inadequate. |
| Reason(R): | This system did not distinguish between the eukaryotes and prokaryotes, unicellular and multicellular organisms and photosynthetic (green algae) and non-photosynthetic (fungi) organisms. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is true, but (R) is false. |

Earlier classification systems included bacteria, blue green algae, fungi, mosses, ferns, gymnosperms under plants. The character that unified this whole kingdom was that all the organisms included had:
| 1. | Plasma membrane in their cells |
| 2. | Golgi in their cells |
| 3. | Mitochondria and plastids in their cells |
| 4. | Cell wall in their cells |
