Solution

The correct option is B Linnaeus
Carolus Linnaeus employed the binomial system of nomenclature in the first edition of his book 'Species Plantarum' in 1753. According to this, a plant name consists of two Latin words, the first of which is the generic name and the second is the specific epithet. Engler and Prantl are famous for their contributions in the field of plant taxonomy.
