Solution

The correct option is B Stem
Aristotle is the 'Father of Biology'. He proposed the earliest scientific classification based on simple morphological characters. He classified living things into plants and animals. These were classified further.
Plants were divided into:

Soft stem (Herb)

One woody stem (Tree)

Several woody stem (Shrub)

Therefore the basis was stem.
