Brief Explanations

Carolus Linnaeus's classification system (taxonomy) aimed to organize and describe the diversity of life by grouping organisms with shared features. The first option is about dating organisms (not his goal), the second about acquired traits (related to Lamarck, not Linnaeus), the third about unchanging species (not his focus; he focused on organization). The fourth option (partially visible but contextually, the goal was to organize life's diversity via shared features) matches.
