Answer:

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
