Solution

The correct option is C Linnaeus
Engler and Prantl proposed their phylogenetic system of classification in their book “Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien” in 1886. Monocots and apetalous simple flowers with strobilus like inflorescence were considered primitive by them. Oswald Tippo, University of Illiniois 1942, classified plant kingdom on the basis of their phylogenetic and evolutionary relationship; he considered magnoliales a primitive order and Amentifereae as most advanced taxon. Darwin proposed the theory of natural selection to explain the process of evolution and published it in a book entitled, 'The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection' or the 'Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life'. Linnaeus is considered father of taxonomy and was first to use the binomial nomenclature for organisms. He described all known species of plant, animal and mineral in his book “Systema Naturae”. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
