Who among the following introduced binominal nomenclature of biological classification?

Correct option is D

Correct Answer: (d) Linnaeus

Explanation:

• Carl Linnaeus introduced the system of binomial nomenclature, the formal method for naming species.
• This system assigns each species a two-part scientific name: the genus name (capitalized) and the species name (lowercase).
• For example, humans are named Homo sapiens. Linnaeus's work in his book "Systema Naturae" (1758) standardized biological classification and is the foundation of modern taxonomy.

Other Options:

• Known as the "Father of Biology," Aristotle laid the groundwork for the study of biology but did not introduce binomial nomenclature.
• John Ray: He contributed significantly to taxonomy and classification, but his naming system was not binomial.
•  Charles Darwin: Known for his theory of evolution by natural selection, not for taxonomy or nomenclature.
