Solution

The correct option is D Species Plantarum
Species Plantarum by Carl Linnaeus, lists every species of plant known at the time. It is the first work to consistently apply binomial names.

Systema Naturae and Genera Plantarum are both books written by Carl Linnaeus. In Systema Naturae, he introduces the Linnaean taxonomy and in Genera Plantarum he has introduced several new genera.

Origin of species is a book by Charles Darwin and it speaks about evolution.
