Answer:
(b) Carolus Linnaeus (a Swedish botanist) is
considered the father of Taxonomy. He formulated the method of naming organisms
called the binomial system of nomenclature. In this system, each type of
organism has two Latin names i.e., one for its genus and the other for its
species, e.g., all frogs have the genus name Rana and the Indian bull frog has
the species name tigrina, so the Indian bull frog is called Rana tigrina.
Linnaeus also introduced a sequence of groups of
organisms, or a way of classifying them. All organisms were divided into
kingdoms. The kingdoms were divided into phyla (singular: phylum), the phyla
into classes and the classes into orders. Then came family, followed by
genus and species. Individuals of a species bear the closest resemblance to
each other.
