The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Critica Botanica dates to 1737, a period when Carl Linnaeus was actively developing rules for consistent plant naming, well before de Candolle or Britton were active.
Aristotle worked in ancient Greece, long before formal botanical nomenclature existed, so by elimination and by direct authorship record, the answer is Linnaeus.
Final answer: Carl Linnaeus.
