Natural System - These systems the plants were classified on the basis of their natural affinities (i.e. the basic similarities in the morphology) rather than on a character for determining the affinities.
Compared to the artificial systems, it was based on the proper utilization of all facts and figures available in nature.
In this system, the plants were grouped and placed into different taxa like classes, orders, families, and genera. Michel Adanson was the first scientist to reject all the artificial systems and support the natural systems of classification.
The main demerit of this system was that the classification was not based on evolutionary relationships.
Different families had been placed in specific groups which do not show any evolutionary relationships.
So, the correct answer is option A.
