Answer 1

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion

• Universally accepted Binomial nomenclature of Plants follows the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN). It uses various resources like articles, photographs, and recommendations for carrying out the above function.
  
• But the reason for use of a scientific name is to avoid the confusions that can be created when attempting to use common names to refer to a species. The common name of species might differ from country to country but, binomial nomenclature remains the same.
  

So, the correct option is 'Both assertion and reason are correct and the reason is not the correct explanation for assertion'.
