The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Nomenclature**: Nomenclature refers to the system of naming organisms. The scientific naming of organisms is crucial in biology for classification and communication. 2. **Binomial vs. Trinomial Nomenclature**: - Binomial nomenclature involves two parts: the genus name and the species name (e.g., *Homo sapiens*). - Trinomial nomenclature extends this by adding a third part, which usually indicates a subspecies or variety (e.g., *Brassica oleracea capitata*). 3. **Historical Context**: The concept of binomial nomenclature was first introduced by Carl Linnaeus, who is often referred to as the father of taxonomy. However, he did not propose trinomial nomenclature. 4. **Identifying the Proposers**: The trinomial nomenclature system was proposed by Huxley and Strickland. They expanded upon Linnaeus's work to include subspecific names. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question "Trinomial nomenclature of classification was proposed by" is Huxley and Strickland. **Final Answer**: Huxley and Strickland. ---
