Answer:
The correct answer would be Linnaeus.
Binomial nomenclature is the formal system of naming an organism developed by Carolus Linnaeus.
It gives a specific name or scientific name to the known organism which is composed of two components- generic name and specific epithet.
A generic name is the first word of the scientific name which represents the genus of the organism. It always starts with a capital letter.
The specific epithet is the second word of the scientific name which represents the species of the organism. It starts with a small letter.
Both the words of binomial name or scientific name are always written in italics when typed and are underlined separately when hand-written.
For example, the binomial name of the humans is Homo sapiens.
