Read the quotation below: nature is messy. science is tentative. as long as these truths remain relevant to biological research, scientific names will continue to be revised. -r. aidan martin, what does this quotation suggest about how a classification system needs to function to support modern science? a) it needs to provide a strictly limited system to reduce confusion and disarray. b) it must be flexible enough to adapt to new discoveries and still provide a meaningful framework. c) it needs to loosely group similar organisms until all organisms are fully studied. d) it must have enough categories to accommodate all future discoveries while retaining its original structure.

Option B, It must be flexible enough to adapt to new discoveries and still provide a meaningful framework.

Explanation:

A taxonomic classification classifies an organism at species level based on their anatomical and morphological characteristics. So some times the characteristics of two or more organisms are found overlapping and therefore they all are placed in one species group but it was revealed at a later stage of research that these organism belong to a different class or group . In such scenarios a taxonomic classification system must be able to adopt such changes without disrupting the entire classification system.  

Also there must be scope of including organisms in the taxonomic classification that shall be discovered in future.  

hence, option B is correct

your answer should be c) enjoy!
