Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Species refer to a group of organisms with fundamental similarities. A species is distinguished from the other closely related species based on distinct morphological differences. e.g., Mangifera indica (Mango), Solanum tuberosum (potato) and Panthera leo (lion). All the three names, indica tuberosum and leo, represent the specific epithets, while the first words Mangifera, Solanum and Panthera are genera.
