• D. To create new organisms.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

To make the study of organisms easier.

There are millions of species on our planet. To study these species, they need to be broken down into smaller units. Although species can be very different from each other, many have similar features that allow us to put them into groups. This process of grouping organisms based on their similarities and differences is called classification, and this makes the study of organisms easier.
