The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each statement provided and determine whether they are correct or incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement Analysis:** - **Statement (i):** "Aristotle classified plants into herbs, shrubs, and trees on the basis of morphology." - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. Aristotle classified plants based on their habits (growth forms) rather than strictly on morphology. 2. **Statement Analysis:** - **Statement (ii):** "Linnaeus' two Kingdom classification was based on the presence or absence of cell wall." - **Analysis:** This statement is also incorrect. Linnaeus' two-kingdom classification was primarily based on the nutritional modes of organisms (autotrophic vs heterotrophic) and not specifically on the presence or absence of a cell wall. 3. **Statement Analysis:** - **Statement (iii):** "R.H. Whittaker included heterotrophic and chitinous cell wall organisms in animals." - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. R.H. Whittaker's classification system did include fungi (which have chitin in their cell walls) as a separate kingdom, but he did not include them in the animal kingdom. Therefore, this statement is misleading and can be considered incorrect. 4. **Conclusion:** - Based on the analysis: - Statement (i) is incorrect. - Statement (ii) is incorrect. - Statement (iii) is incorrect. - Thus, all three statements are incorrect. 5. **Selecting the Correct Option:** - Since all statements are incorrect, we look for the option that reflects this conclusion. If the options were: 1. First and third are correct. 2. Second and third are correct. 3. First is incorrect. 4. All are incorrect. - The correct choice would be the one that states that all statements are incorrect. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is that all statements are incorrect. ---
