Solution

The correct option is C

Carolus Linnaeus


The science of classfication for living things is better known as taxonomy. Taxonomy is the branch of biology that classifies all living things. It was developed by the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus, who lived during the 18th Century, and his system of classification is still used today. Linnaeus invented binomial nomenclature, the system of giving each type of organism a genus and species name.
