Solution

The correct option is B B
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.

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.

So, both assertion and reason are correct and the reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.
