Solution

The correct option is B Locomotion
The Greek scientist, Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), was one of the first scientists to organise living things. Aristotle developed the first classification system, which divided all known organisms into two groups: Plants and Animals. His classification was based on the locomotion ability of organisms.
