Solution

The correct option is D Homo sapiens
A binomial name consists of two terms. First term denotes the species and the other term denotes the genus. The names are in Latin so, they are always italicized in print and underlined separately when written. Name of the genus always starts with a capital letter while names of species start with the small letter.
