Solution

The common name of any species is much simpler than its scientific name. However, the scientific name is more acceptable to biologists all over the world in scientific studies than common names. This is because different countries have different languages and different name for the single species. This would create confusion. Hence, use of scientific names has an advantage over the common name.
