Who published Systema Naturae in 1735 classifying the three kingdoms of nature and outlining the sexual system for the classification of plants?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

- The work Systema Naturae was first published in the year $1735$ and established a formal classification of nature into three kingdoms (animals, plants, minerals) and introduced the sexual system for plant classification.
- Carolus Linnaeus (also spelled Carl von Linné) is the historical author of Systema Naturae and the originator of modern binomial nomenclature (e.g., $Homo\ sapiens$ written as $Genus\ species$).
- The other choices are incorrect: Carl Woese proposed the three-domain system much later; Robert Whittaker proposed a five-kingdom scheme in 1969; Ernst Haeckel proposed microbial/Protist groupings in the 19th century but did not author Systema Naturae.

Therefore the correct answer is Carolus Linnaeus.
