The correct answer is:
D

• Linnaeus’ classification of plants, called the sexual system, was mainly based on the number, arrangement, and length of stamens (male reproductive organs).

• He also considered carpels (female organs) to a lesser extent.

• Other parts like sepals, petals, or stems were not the primary basis of his system.
