What type of system did Carolus Linnaeus initiate for the classification of organisms?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Two-kingdom classification system

Correct answer: A. Carolus Linnaeus is associated with the two-kingdom system, in which organisms were broadly placed in Kingdom Plantae or Kingdom Animalia. His work also established a hierarchical approach and binomial nomenclature, but this question asks specifically about the classification system. The five-kingdom system was proposed much later by R. H. Whittaker, so B is not Linnaeus’s system. A three-kingdom system was proposed by later workers and is therefore not C. D is not the standard name of the system initiated by Linnaeus; although his early classification had artificial limitations, the recognised answer is the two-kingdom system. Memory cue: “Linnaeus—two kingdoms; Whittaker—five kingdoms.”
