e-all of the above traits combined

Answer 1

Answer:

Option-E

Systematics is an interdisciplinary of the taxonomy, which deals with the systematic classification of organism present on Earth.

The systematic classify the organism on the basis of their traits which can help them in showing the relationship in terms of evolutionary history and in present time.

The systematics is the advanced field of taxonomy as once the systematics started with the morphological characteristics but now along with morphology the molecular, biochemical and behavioural traits are utilised.

Thus, Option-E is correct.
