Solution

The correct option is A Latin
The system of Binomial Nomenclature was given by Carl Linnaeus. As Linnaeus had followed the work of early biologists, he also adopted their language Latin, so as to maintain a uniform code for the procedure of nomenclature in Taxonomy. Biological names are thus, generally in Latin.
