Solution

The correct option is B Species Plantarum
  • Charaka Samhita is a Sanskrit text on Ayurveda. It describes ancient theories on the human body, etiology, and therapeutics for a wide range of diseases that was written by Charaka.
  • Systema Naturae is the book written by Linnaeus that describes various species of animals and he is popularly known as the Father of taxonomy with his great knowledge.
  • Species Plantarum is the book written by Linnaeus in 1753 which became the starting point for the nomenclature of plants, as no names are recognized prior to that.
  • So the correct option is Species Plantarum.
