The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each of the four statements provided and determine which one is incorrect. 1. **Statement (a): Ontogeny is the life history of organisms.** - **Analysis:** Ontogeny refers to the development of an organism from the fertilized egg to its mature form. This statement is accurate as it describes the life history of an organism. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. 2. **Statement (b): Classical taxonomy is based on morphological characters.** - **Analysis:** Classical taxonomy, especially as established by early taxonomists like Linnaeus, primarily relied on the observable physical characteristics (morphology) of organisms for classification. This statement is also accurate. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. 3. **Statement (c): Consciousness is the most obvious and technically complicated feature of only higher plants.** - **Analysis:** This statement is misleading. Consciousness is generally associated with higher animals, particularly mammals, and is not a feature that is typically attributed to plants, whether higher or lower. Therefore, this statement is incorrect. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Statement (d): Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of organisms.** - **Analysis:** Phylogeny indeed refers to the evolutionary relationships and history of organisms, tracing their lineage and evolutionary development. This statement is accurate. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. After evaluating all the statements, we find that the incorrect option is **(c)**. ### Final Answer: The incorrect option is **(c)**.
