Answer: B.) Felis concolor

Explanation: An organisms biological name consists of their genus and their species. The genus is Felis so the first name will be Felis, and the species is Concolor which will be the second name. The first letter of the genus is always capitalized and the species will be lower case. So the name will be "Felis concolor". Hope this helps.
