Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
C

In earlier classifications, both were grouped together in Kingdom Monera because they are prokaryotic. However, modern molecular and biochemical evidence (especially rRNA studies by Carl Woese) showed major differences between them.

So they are now separated into distinct groups:

• Archaebacteria → Archaea

• Eubacteria → Bacteria
