Question

The process of naming living organisms is called:

• A. Classification
• B. Taxonomy
• C. Nomenclature
• D. Systematics

Answer 1

The correct option is C Nomenclature

Binomial nomenclature is the formal naming system for living organisms used by scientists. This is done so that every living organism can be identified properly and the confusion created by common names can be avoided. Binomial nomenclature gives every living organism a two-part scientific name. The first part of the name begins with a capital letter and is the genus name of the organism. The second word begins with a lowercase letter and is the species name of the organism.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
