Solution

The correct option is C Carolus Linnaeus
The formal introduction of the binomial system of classification is credited to the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus, which came to be widely known through his publication of 'Species Plantarum' in 1753. The application of binomial nomenclature is now governed by various internationally mandated codes/rules, of which the two most important are provided by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) for animals and the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature for plants.
Darwin, Wallace and Malthus are known for their contributions in the field of evolution.
