How has the system of classifying organisms changed since Linnaeus’s work?

Answer
A
Levels have been taken away from the hierarchy.
B
Organisms have been identified simply as plants or animals.
C
More levels have been added to the hierarchy.
D
A hierarchy has been developed.

Explanation

Linnaeus organized organisms into a hierarchy of groups, but classification has since become more detailed. Scientists have added levels, including the domain level above kingdom, so more levels have been added to the hierarchy. Choice C is correct; a hierarchy was already part of Linnaeus’s system.
