Text Solution

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Local Names**: Local names refer to the names given to plants and animals in specific regions or languages. These names can differ significantly from one place to another. 2. **Variability of Local Names**: It is important to note that local names are not standardized; they can vary greatly depending on cultural, linguistic, and geographical factors. For example, a single plant species may have different names in different regions or languages. 3. **Comparison with Scientific Names**: Unlike local names, scientific names (binomial nomenclature) are universally recognized and consistent across the globe. Each species has a unique scientific name that helps in its identification regardless of local language. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct understanding of local names is that they vary from place to place and are not universally recognized. This variability can lead to confusion in identifying species if only local names are used.
