Final answer:

Statement A, which claims Aristotle classified plants based on habit and habitat, is incorrect. Aristotle's classifications were based on characteristics and abilities. Statement B, which asserts that organisms with loose body tissue were categorized as Mychota by Copeland, is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reviewing both of the statements: statement a: Aristotle classified plants on the basis of habit and habitat and statement b: Organisms with loose tissue body organization were placed in Mychota by Copeland, we can analyze their accuracy based on historical scientific classifications. Aristotle, in fact, did attempt to classify organisms, but he primarily focused on animals rather than plants, he didn't show any classification based on habit and habitat. His classification included hierarchies and subdivisions based on characteristics and abilities, as seen in his theories about the soul. Therefore, statement A is incorrect.

In statement B, Copeland is mentioned, likely referring to Herbert Copeland, an American biologist. He indeed created groups or taxa based on the structural organization of organisms, such as the Mychota for organisms with loose tissue body organization. So, statement B is correct.
