Answer 1

The correct option is C Monochlamydeae

Option C is correct. Based on a natural classification of seed plants and ignorant about their affinities, Bentham and Hooker placed the families Ceratophyllaceae, Salicaceae and Empetraceae under the group Monochlamydeae. However, this is considered as a demerit of the system.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
