Answer 1

Binomial nomenclature, often known as the "two-term naming system," is a formal method for identifying living things that consists of two components, both of which employ Latin grammatical forms, but they can be based on terms from other languages.

Complete answer:
Binomial Nomenclature is a formal technique for naming organisms that is frequently used. The nomenclature is made up of two names, both of which are Latin in origin. It can, however, be derived from a variety of languages. A binomial name, often known as a scientific name, is such a name.

Rohu, also known as roho labeo, is a carp-like fish found in South Asian rivers. It is omnivorous. It grows to a maximum length of 2 metres and weighs around 110 kg. Labeo rohita is its scientific name.

The red jungle chicken is Gallus gallus. It belongs to the Phasianidae family of tropical insects. The wild form's distribution extends from Tamil Nadu, India, eastwards across southern China and into Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, among other places.

Bos indicus is a domestic cattle species or subspecies that originated in South Asia. 'Zebu' is another name for it. Zebu has a fatty hump on their shoulders, a huge dewlap, and occasionally droopy ears.

Antheraea mylitta is a genus of moths in the Saturniidae family. Tassar silk is made by the oriental moth.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: The genus to which an organism belongs is highlighted by the generic name or the first portion of the name. Within the genus, the second portion, or specific name, indicates the particular species to which the creature belongs. Furthermore, with binomial nomenclature, certain standards must be followed, such as the generic name must always be capitalised whereas the particular name does not. Additionally, the full name must be italicised.
