I got this question in homework.

I want to ask this question from Classification in Plantae topic in chapter Plant Kingdom of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

Right answer is (c) Sexual organs are given more preference than vegetative organs

To explain: Artificial classification is the oldest mode of classification in plantae kingdom. This classification laid the foundation for classification in plants. Artificial classification classifies closely related species under one category. However, in this mode of classification vegetative and sexual characteristics are given equal preference.
