Who popularized the term Biodiversity?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Edward Wilson

Correct answer: B, Edward Wilson. The term “biodiversity” became widely popular through the work and influence of the biologist Edward O. Wilson. To separate the options, Linnaeus is strongly associated with binomial nomenclature and systematic naming; he did not popularize this term. Wilson is the correct choice. Darwin is associated mainly with evolution by natural selection and common descent, not with popularizing the word biodiversity. Whittaker is associated with the five-kingdom classification system. Therefore, the historical association asked in the question points to Edward Wilson. Memory cue: Wilson—biodiversity; Linnaeus—binomial names; Darwin—evolution; Whittaker—five kingdoms.
