The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Gaspard Bauhin (1560 - 1624 A.D.), a Swiss botanist, was the first taxonomist to suggest the binomial system of nomenclature. He used the binomial nomenclature in his books Prodromus Theatri Botanici (1620) and ?Penax Theatri Botanici? (1623). Later on the system was developed by Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) by naming all known species of plants in his book ?Species Plantarum? published in 1753. This established the usage of binomial nomenclature for naming species.

Concepts Used:
The Living World
- The living world includes a vast variety of living organisms like plants, animals, and even microorganisms that exist on the earth.
- These organisms also differ in size, color, habitat, physiology, and morphology.
- Biologists have developed certain rules and principles supplementary which are helpful in the identification, nomenclature, and classification of organisms.
- Such rules and principles lie in Taxonomy.
- The taxonomic studies are very helpful and useful in specific fields like forestry, industry, agriculture, and for knowing our bio-resources.
- All discovered living organisms are being named so that they are known by the same name throughout the world.
- Each biological name is a collection of a generic name indicating the genus of an organism and a specific name that indicates the species.
