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.
  • Thus, the correct option is B.
