Correct Answer :
B. A I; B III; C II
Artificial system of classification is based on the few morphological characters. Natural system of classification is based on the natural affinities among the organisms and considers external as well as internal features. Phylogenetic system of classification is based on the evolutionary relationships between the various organisms.
