Solution
The correct option is D Phylogenetic Classification
Phylogenetic classification is a classification system based on evolutionary relationships between the various organisms, assuming that organisms that belong to the same taxonomical group have a common ancestor. It is the most commonly accepted and used classification system.
Artificial system of classification considers only gross superficial morphological characteristics such as with or without red blood, with or without wings, etc. This system was used by early scientists such as Aristotle, Pliny the Elder, Linnaeus, etc.
Natural system of classification considers both external and internal features of organisms such as embryology, phytochemistry, development, etc. This system was used by Bentham and Hooker for the classification of flowering plants.
