Explanation:

- Option 2: Robert Whittaker

- Option 1: Carl Woese

- Although not related to the five-kingdom system, he is known for the three-domain system based on genetic data, proposing Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.

- Option 3: William Paley

- Known for the "watchmaker analogy," he was a theologian who argued for intelligent design, not a biologist focusing on organism classification.

- Option 4: Charles Darwin

- Introduced the theory of evolution by natural selection but not involved in this classification system.
