The correct answer is E. It does not include Plants, Animals, and Fungi
Explanation:
In biology, a group of species or organisms is called a paraphyletic group in the case they all derive from the same ancestor, but the group excludes one or more groups or species of organisms, usually because despite these derive from the same ancestor are slightly different from others. Protists (eukaryotic organisms) are considered a paraphyletic group because protists include all kinds of eukaryotic organisms that derive from the same ancestor but excludes plants, animals, and fungi even though this originated from the same ancestor. Thus, protists are a paraphyletic group because "it does not include Plants, Animals, and Fungi".
The group protists in considered as paraphyletic group as it excludes plants, animals, and fungus. Thus, option E is correct.
The paraphyletic group in the taxonomy is the group with the common ancestors, but is not subdivided into further groups. The monophletic group is consisted of the most common ancestors.
The paraphyletic group consists of protists are consisted of the organisms with the common ancestors from the similar appendages. The group is consisted of the animals excluding plants, animals, and fungus.
Thus, the paraphyletic protists does not involve plants, animal, and fungi. Hence, option E is correct.
