- Binomial nomenclature is the system of nomenclature in which each species of animal or plant receives a name of two terms of which the first identifies the genus to which it belongs and the second the species itself.
- The genus is capitalized and species is in lowercase, both written in italics. The formal system of nomenclature was introduced by Swedish natural scientist Carl Linnaeus in his book Species Plantarum in 1753.
Thus the correct answer is option A.
