There is no way to definitively tell.

There are six kingdoms: Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista, Plantae, Fungi, and Animilia (some people roll all the bacteria into one kingdom, so watch for that, too).

- being multicellular excludes Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, and Protista.
- being heterotrophic excludes everything but Fungi, Animilia, and some bacteria.
- being a eukaryote excludes Eubacteria and Archaebacteria
- lacking cell walls excludes Plantae, Archaebacteria, and some (but not all) fungi.

Animals obviously sail right through, but some fungi can make the cut as well (it depends on your definition of fungus - some people strictly hold to that wall and some don't). If you MUST choose one, Animilia is the safest answer... but it's not necessarily the only one!

All animals are heterotrophic, as well as fungi and many bacteria. if X lacks cell walls it must belong to kingdom Animalia.

Animalia.

Fungi and plants have cell walls.
