Solution
The correct option is C Tamarindus indica
According to binomial nomenclature, as first implemented by C. Linnaeus, each species is assigned two names, the first generic names and second species epithet. Tamarindus is a generic name and indicus/indica are specific epithet. As the generic name is mostly a proper noun, it is written with the first letter capitalised while the species epithet is objective and is written in small letters only. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
