Answer 1

Hint: Nomenclature is the scientific process of giving a name to a living organism or any other kind of chemical substance. Which are based on international standards, which are accepted worldwide. Plant nomenclature is botanical nomenclature.

Complete answer: It is a formal naming process, plant nomenclature is a scientific naming process, which depends on a different scientific international standard that accepted and used globally in their research or other purposes, nomenclature makes easy to identify and study the particular plant and placed according to their feature in the plant kingdom. The modern botanical nomenclature is started by Linnaeus, which is governed by the international code of botanical nomenclature (ICBN) fossil plants are also put in this category. The scientific name of any organism is written in a certain manner. The scientific name consists of two words: the first word is the name of the genus while the second word is the name of the species. The first word starts with a capital letter and the second word starts with a small letter, if the scientific name is handwritten it should be underlined when the scientific name is printed then it should be in italic form. Example:- Homo sapiens (Humans). The scientific naming is a necessary process, because throughout the world a single species of plant may be called with a different name which makes it difficult to encounter and study that particular species. So, that scientific name helps to make study easy.
Hence, the correct option is B.

Note: The Latin language is used for formulating the scientific name rather than vernacular language because the Latin language is a dead language and the meaning of Latin words are not prone to change just like the English language.
