Solution
The correct option is D Engler and Prantl
Initially, the Phylogenetic system was proposed by Engler and Prantl. In their treatise 'Die Naturlichen Pflanzen Familien', they arranged the flowering plants according to the increasing complexity of their floral morphology.
John Hutchinson was a British botanist associated with Royal botanic gardens, Kew, England. His phylogenetic system first appeared as "The Families of Flowering plants " in two volumes.
Carolus Linnaeus was a Swedish botanist who formalized binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as The Father of Taxonomy.
George Bentham was an English botanist whose classification of seed plants (Spermatophyta), based on an exhaustive study of all known species, served as a foundation for modern systems of vascular plant taxonomy.
