The true statement regarding the taxonomic system is:

The current taxonomic system is based on the Linnaean classification system.

While the Linnaean system is foundational, modern taxonomy also incorporates genetic and evolutionary relationships among organisms. The other statements regarding cataloging all current and extinct species and attributing the creation of the taxonomic system to Charles Darwin are not accurate.
