Blue-green algae also called cyanobacteria are primitive algae. They belong to a kingdom that consists of unicellular prokaryotic organisms. These are usually green in colour due to the presence of photosynthetic pigment.
Cyanophyceae belongs to the Monera kingdom which includes unicellular prokaryotic organisms as they are considered to be more closely related to bacteria.
Monerans lack membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, endoplasimic reticulum etc.
They also lack a true nucleus. Instead, they have nucleoid, genetic material without a nuclear envelope.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Monera.'
