Which system of classification faced criticism for being just a 'sexual system'?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Linnaeus's artificial system

Direct answer: B, Linnaeus’s artificial system. Linnaeus classified plants mainly by a small number of reproductive characters, especially the number and arrangement of stamens and pistils. Because these characters were treated as the chief basis of classification, the system was called a sexual system. The method was useful and simple for identification, but it did not consider the complete structure, many other characteristics, or natural evolutionary relationships of plants. A is incorrect because a natural system uses many characters and tries to show overall relationships. C is incorrect because a phylogenetic system is based on evolutionary history. D is incorrect because Whittaker’s five-kingdom system classifies organisms using cell structure, body organisation, nutrition and other broad criteria. Memory cue: “few reproductive characters = Linnaeus’s sexual system.”
