Answer 2

c) genus and species

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial nomenclature is the method of scientifically naming the living organisms. Accordingly, the name of each living being consists of two words: the first word represents the name of the genus and the second word is species epithet.

For example: according to binomial nomenclature, the scientific name of mango is: Mangifera indica

Here, Mangifera and indica represent the genus and species of the mango respectively.
