Solution
Binomial nomenclature, also known as binomial nomenclature or binary nomenclature in taxonomy, is a formal system for naming living things that consists of two parts, both of which employ Latin grammatical forms, but they can be based on terms from other languages.
Complete answer:
Nerium oleander, often known as oleander or nerium, is a shrub or small tree grown as an ornamental and landscape plant in temperate and subtropical climates. It is the only species in the genus Nerium, which belongs to the Apocynoideae subfamily of the Apocynaceae dogbane family.
Cassia fistula, also known as golden shower, purging cassia, Indian laburnum, or pudding-pipe tree, is a flowering plant belonging to the Caesalpinioideae subfamily of the Fabaceae legume family. The species is native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia's neighbouring regions.
The talipot palm, Corypha umbraculifera, is a palm species native to eastern and southern India and Sri Lanka. In addition to Cambodia, Myanmar, China, Thailand, and the Andaman Islands, it is grown in Cambodia, Myanmar, China, Thailand, and the Andaman Islands. It's a flowering plant with the world's largest inflorescence.
Cultivated tobacco, or Nicotiana tabacum, is an annual herbaceous plant. It can be found in cultivation, where it is the most widely grown of all Nicotiana species, and its leaves are produced commercially in many countries to be processed into tobacco. It reaches a height of 1 to 2 metres.
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| A. Nerium indicum | 4. Apocynaceae |
| B. Cassia fistula | 5. Caeasa/pinaceae |

Therefore, option (a) is correct.
Note: Every recognised species on the planet is assigned a two-part scientific name (at least in theory). "Binomial nomenclature" is the name for this system. These names are significant because they allow people all across the world to communicate about animal species in a clear and concise manner.
