Binomial nomenclature is the system of providing organisms with appropriate and distinct names consisting of two words, first generic and second specific.
The first or generic word is also called the genus. It is like a noun and its first letter is written in the capital form.
The second or specific epithet represents the species. It is like an adjective. Its first letter is written in the small form except occasionally when it denotes a person or place.
So the correct option is 'One scientific name containing the generic and specific name'.
