Solution

The correct option is B Carl Linnaeus
Carl von Linnaeus is considered as the "Father of Taxonomy” for his extensive work on correlation, identification and classification of living organisms. Charles Darwin is known as the "Father of Evolution". Robert Whittaker is well known for his proposal of the five-kingdom taxonomic classification (Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia). Ernst Haeckel is famous in the field of evolution for his Recapitulation Theory which states that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.
