Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Binomial nomenclature is the system of providing organisms with
appropriate and distinct names consisting of two words, first generic
and second specific. The original names were taken from Latin and Greek
languages. New names are now derived either from Latin language or are
latinised. This is because Latin language is dead and therefore, it will
not change in form or spelling with passage of time.
So, the correct answer is 'Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect'.
