Classification given by Bentham and Hooker is

1. artificial
2. natural

Correct answer: natural

Bentham and Hooker’s classification is considered natural because it uses a wide range of observable characters to arrange plants according to overall affinities. It is not based on evolutionary history, so it is not phylogenetic, and it is not a numerical or purely artificial system.
