Solution
The correct option is A Cohorts
Bentham and Hooker proposed first elaborated natural classification system of seed plants and divided them into three groups, dicotyledons, gymnosperms and monocotyledons.
The classification was based on natural morphological features like leaf venation, vascular bundles, the number of cotyledons, etc.
These were then divided into three sub-classes, 21 series, 25 cohorts (present day 'orders') and 202 families.
