System of classification used by Linnaeus was

1. natural system
2. artificial system
3. phylogenetic system
4. asexual system

Correct answer: artificial system

Solution

Linnaeus’s classification was based on a limited number of observable features, especially reproductive structures in plants, which makes it an artificial system. It did not aim to reflect evolutionary relationships, so it is not a natural or phylogenetic system.
