Solution

The correct option is B Generic epithet + specific epithet
Binomial nomenclature is a system of naming living species in which each species is assigned a specific scientific name. The name consists of two parts:
Generic epithet: It shows the genus of the organism
Specific epithet: It shows the species of the organism.
So, the correct answer is 'Generic epithet + specific epithet'.
