Solution

The correct option is C Mangifera indica
According to binomial nomenclature, the genus name should begin with the capital letter and species name should begin with the small letter. The scientific name thus has two parts, both should be distinctly underlined when written or italicized when typed. Thus, the scientific name of mango should be written as Mangifera indica. It can also be written as M.indica.
So, the correct answer is option C.
