Answer:

D) A scientific identification scheme that includes two-part naming of a particular species.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial nomenclature is a system of nomenclature in which each species of animal or plant receives a name of two terms of which the first identifies the genus to which it belongs and the second the species itself. Binomial Nomenclature Also called binary nomenclature, this formal system of naming organisms consists of two Latinized names, the genus and the species. All living things, and even some viruses, have a scientific name.
