Whittaker's 5 Criteria: Cell structure, Body organization, Mode of nutrition, Reproduction, Phylogenetic relationships.

Core Logic

R.H. Whittaker (1969) used five primary criteria: cell structure (A), body organization (B), mode of nutrition, reproduction (D), and phylogenetic relationships (E). Presence of flagellum (C) was not a primary criterion.

Step 1: Selection

Correct criteria are A, B, D, and E. Option (1) is correct.

Pattern Recognition

Excluding 'Presence of flagellum' leaves A, B, D, E.
