Detailed Solution
In Whittaker's five-kingdom classification, all single-celled eukaryotes are placed under the kingdom Protista.
Protista includes chrysophytes (diatoms), dinoflagellates, euglenoids, slime moulds and protozoans.
Monera and Archaea contain prokaryotes, which lack a true nucleus.
Fungi are mostly multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes with chitinous cell walls.
Hence single-celled eukaryotes are included in Protista.
