Which of the following is NOT one of the five kingdoms?

Explanation:
In biology, kingdoms group organisms that share cellular structure and life processes. A virus doesn’t have cells and can’t carry out metabolism or reproduce on its own; it must hijack a host cell to replicate. Because of that, viruses aren’t considered organisms and aren’t placed in any kingdom. The other options—Monera (bacteria), Protista (single-celled eukaryotes), and Plantae (plants)—are traditional kingdoms. (The classic five kingdoms also include Fungi and Animalia, but viruses aren’t one of the kingdoms.)
