Which statement describes the work of Aristotle and Linnaeus?

Answer

Aristotle’s classification system had many levels, while Linnaeus’s classification system only had two levels.

Aristotle’s and Linnaeus’s classification systems both divided all life into two groups: plant and animal.

Linnaeus proved that many organisms, which were classified as plants by Aristotle, were animals.

Aristotle and Linnaeus worked side by side examining organisms on many trips.

Explanation

Aristotle broadly grouped living things as plants or animals. Linnaeus also used two kingdoms, Plantae and Animalia, but arranged organisms within them using a hierarchy of smaller groups. So both systems divided life into plant and animal groups; choice A incorrectly says Linnaeus used only two levels.
