The concept of binomial nomenclature is essential in biology for naming species. This system uses two names: the genus and the species. Among the options provided, the correct example of a binomial scientific name is:

Correct Answer

(c) Rana tigrina

Explanation

In this case, "Rana" refers to the genus, and "tigrina" specifies the species. The other options do not follow this two-part naming convention:

Green algae - Common name, not scientific.

Snow leopard - Common name, not scientific.

China-rose - Common name, not scientific.

Using binomial nomenclature helps scientists communicate clearly about different species across languages and regions.
