Monera
Explanation:
- Wittaker classified the organism into five groups monera, protista, fungi, plantae, and animalia. The kingdom monera contains an organism that lacks nucleus which means prokaryotes are present in monera kingdom.
- Nitrogen-fixing organisms are bacteria which are prokaryotes and archaea are also prokaryotes.
- So as both are prokaryotes and in monera, prokaryotes are present therefore monera is the kingdom where archaea and nitrogen-fixing organisms should be placed. So the correct answer is monera.
