Answer: Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The International Code of Nomenclature is the rule that is accepted internationally for naming new plants and animals.

For naming animals the rule is named as International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) and for naming plants, algae and fungi the rule is named as the International Code of Nomenclature (ICN).

The basic rule for International Code of Nomenclature involves that, the first part of the name helps in identifying genus to which the species belongs which is the generic name and the second part which is the specific name helps in identifying the species in the genus.

for example animal nomenclature - Homo sapiens (Human) and plant nomenclature - Pisum sativum (Pea).

Hence, the correct option is C.
