Step by step solution

01

Option (a): Aristotle (iv), Theophrastus (iii), Linnaeus (i), Whittaker (ii)

In this option, Aristotle is matched with "Father of botany", Theophrastus with "Five-kingdom classification", Linnaeus with "Two-kingdom classification", and Whittaker with "Father of zoology". However, Aristotle is actually known as the Father of Zoology and Theophrastus is known as the Father of Botany. So this option does not have the correct matches for the given scientists. #Step 2: Analyze Option (b)#

02

Option (b): Aristotle (ii), Theophrastus (iv), Linnaeus (i), Whittaker (iii)

In this option, Aristotle is matched with "Father of zoology", Theophrastus with "Father of botany", Linnaeus with "Two-kingdom classification", and Whittaker with "Five-kingdom classification". This option has all the correct matches for each scientist with their respective achievements. #Step 3: Analyze Option (c)#

03

Option (c): Aristotle (ii), Theophrastus (i), Linnaeus (iii), Whittaker (iv)

In this option, Aristotle is matched with "Father of zoology", Theophrastus with "Two-kingdom classification", Linnaeus with "Five-kingdom classification", and Whittaker with "Father of botany". Although Aristotle is correctly matched in this alternative, the other scientists are not correctly matched with their respective classifications/achievements. #Step 4: Analyze Option (d)#

04

Option (d): Aristotle (iii), Theophrastus (i), Linnaeus (ii), Whittaker (iv)

In this option, Aristotle is matched with "Five-kingdom classification", Theophrastus with "Two-kingdom classification", Linnaeus with "Father of zoology", and Whittaker with "Father of botany". None of the scientists are matched with their correct achievements in this option. #Step 5: Select the correct option#

05

Selecting the correct answer

After analyzing all the given options, we can conclude that Option (b) has all the scientists correctly matched with their respective achievements. Therefore, the correct answer is Option (b): Aristotle (ii), Theophrastus (iv), Linnaeus (i), Whittaker (iii).
