Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) Carolus Linnaeus.
· Carolus Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist, zoologist, and physician, introduced the modern system of binomial nomenclature, the scientific naming system we use today.
· In this system, each species is given a two-part Latin name consisting of the genus and species, such as
Homo sapiens for humans.
· This method, developed in the 18th century, helped standardize the names of organisms, making it easier for scientists across the world to communicate about species
.
Information Booster:
· Binomial nomenclature means "two-name naming system," where the first name (genus) is capitalized, and the second name (species) is lowercase.
· Linnaeus's work, particularly in his book
Systema Naturae, laid the foundation for modern taxonomy.
· This system is still used universally in biology to ensure each organism has a unique and globally recognized name.
· Linnaeus is known as the "Father of Taxonomy" for his contributions to organizing the natural world systematically.
