Which of the following is a common feature of Protista and Animalia kingdoms?

  1. Autotrophy

  2. Cell walls

  3. Multicellularity

  4. Photosynthesis

The correct answer is: Multicellularity

The common feature of Protista and Animalia kingdoms is multicellularity. Protista kingdom contains various types of organisms ranging from unicellular to multicellular forms, while Animalia kingdom consists of multicellular organisms. This distinguishes them from kingdoms like Plantae, which are primarily characterized by their autotrophic nature and possession of cell walls, features not shared by Protista and Animalia. Photosynthesis, typically seen in autotrophic organisms, is not a common feature of Protista and Animalia.
