The correct option is D Only I, II and III

Kingdom Plantae is further classified into five divisions - Algae, bryophyta, pteridophyta, gymnosperms and angiosperms.
This classification is done to categorize about 3,74,000 plant species into divisions so that species sharing common features can be placed in a category.
This segregation allows studying of the organisms easier. Also, the new organisms that are discovered can be placed based on the common features of a division. This would allow the scientists to predict other features of the newly discovered organisms.
