The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the classification based on a few morphological characters. We need to identify which classification system this refers to. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options given are: - Option 1: Artificial - Option 2: Natural - Option 3: Phylogenetic - Option 4: Both B and C 3. **Analyzing the Artificial Classification**: The artificial system of classification is characterized by the use of a limited number of morphological traits to categorize organisms. This system does not consider the evolutionary relationships or a comprehensive set of characteristics. 4. **Examples of Artificial Classification**: A common example of artificial classification includes grouping plants into categories such as shrubs and trees or the sexual classification system proposed by Linnaeus, which is based on the number of stamens and styles. 5. **Examining Other Options**: - **Natural Classification**: This system considers a broader range of characteristics and the relationships among organisms. It is not limited to a few traits. - **Phylogenetic Classification**: This system is based on evolutionary relationships and genetic affinities, which also involves more than just a few morphological characters. 6. **Conclusion**: Since the question specifically asks for classification based on a few morphological characters, the correct answer is the artificial classification system. 7. **Final Answer**: The correct option is **Option 1: Artificial**. ---
