Solution

The correct option is B Carolus Linnaeus - 6 Kingdoms
Carolus Linnaeus proposed the 2 kingdom system of classification - plant and animal kingdoms. The major drawback of this classification was that it could not classify prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. It could also not give a proper distinction between unicellular and multicellular organisms.
