The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Binomial Nomenclature**: Binomial nomenclature is a system for naming organisms. It was developed by Carl Linnaeus and is used universally in the scientific community. 2. **Components of Binomial Nomenclature**: According to this system, every living organism is given a scientific name that consists of two parts: - The first part is the **genus name** (which is capitalized). - The second part is the **species name** (which is not capitalized). 3. **Example of Binomial Nomenclature**: For instance, the scientific name of the mango is *Mangifera indica*. Here, *Mangifera* is the genus and *indica* is the species. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, according to binomial nomenclature, every living organism has one scientific name that consists of two components: the genus and the species. 5. **Correct Answer**: The correct option is "one scientific name with two components." ---
