Solution

The correct option is B Systema Naturae

Binomial nomenclature is the system of naming organisms using a two-part (generic name and a specific name). The binomial system of nomenclature was introduced by Carolus Linnaeus and was first published in his book 'Systema Naturae,' based on which all fundamental taxonomic research has developed.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
