Answer:

Option E

Explanation:

Scientist Carl Woese was able to define the profound differences between the two groups of organism i.e Archae and bacteria by defining archae.

He is well known for defining the Archae as a distinctive species class which comprises a new kingdom that has no traits similar to that of either  bacteria or eukaryotes

He thus proposed that there should be three domians based on phylogenetic relationships irrespective of domain system based on morphological similarities.

Hence, option E is correct
