Biological Classification of Plants and Animals
Biological classification of plants and animals was first proposed by Aristotle on the basis of simple morphological characters.
Linnaeus later classified all living organisms into two kingdoms – Plantae and Animalia.
Whittaker proposed an elaborate five kingdom classification – Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
The main criteria of the five kingdom classification were cell structure, body organization, mode of nutrition and reproduction, and phylogenetic relationships [evolutionary development and diversification of a species].
So, the correct answer is 'Nutrition'.
