The correct answer is (A) One or very few characters.

An artificial system of classification classifies plants based on a limited number of easily observable and distinct characters, often just one or a few, without taking into consideration their evolutionary relationships or phylogenetic trends. This type of classification is typically simpler and more practical for non-specialists to use, but it doesn't necessarily reflect the true evolutionary relationships between different plant species.
