The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Binomial Nomenclature**: Binomial nomenclature is a system of naming organisms that was developed by Carl Linnaeus. It is a formal system that assigns each species a name composed of two parts. 2. **Two-Part Name**: The two parts of the name are: - **Genus**: The first part of the name, which represents a group of related species. - **Species**: The second part of the name, which identifies the specific organism within the genus. 3. **Scientific Naming Convention**: In this system, the genus name is always capitalized, while the species name is not. Both names are usually italicized or underlined when written. 4. **Correct Option**: Given the options: - Option A: Two names, one Latin and other common (Incorrect) - Option B: Two names, one scientific and other vernacular (Incorrect) - Option C: One scientific name given by two scientists (Incorrect) - Option D: One scientific biological name with two words that is a genus and a species (Correct) 5. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is option D, as it accurately describes the binomial nomenclature system where every organism is given a scientific name consisting of two parts: the genus and the species. ---
