Answer :

To determine which kingdoms include more than one body type based on the given table, let's carefully analyze each kingdom's body type.

1. Eubacteria: Listed as "Unicellular".
2. Archaebacteria: Listed as "Unicellular".
3. Protista: Listed as "Most unicellular". This implies that the Protista kingdom includes both unicellular and some multicellular organisms.
4. Fungi: Listed as "Both". This clearly indicates that the Fungi kingdom includes both unicellular and multicellular organisms.
5. Plantae: Listed as "Multicellular".
6. Animalia: Listed as "Multicellular".

From the above analysis, we can see that:

- Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Plantae, and Animalia each have a single body type.
- Protista and Fungi each include more than one body type (both unicellular and multicellular forms).

Hence, the kingdom(s) that include more than one body type are Protista and Fungi.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
Protista and Fungi
