Binomial nomenclature is the system of nomenclature in which two terms are used to denote a species of living organism. The first one indicates the genus and second one indicates the species. Both words use Latin grammatical forms. For example, humans belong to the genus Homo and within this genus to the species Homo sapiens.
It was introduced by Carolus Linnaeus. Hence, option D is correct.
