In which year was the famous book 'Systema Naturae' written by Linnaeus published?

Correct answer: 1735

Direct answer: A, 1735. The first edition of Linnaeus’s famous work Systema Naturae was published in 1735. The work presented a systematic arrangement of organisms and became highly influential in the development of modern classification. Linnaeus later revised and expanded the work in several editions, so students may see other years associated with later editions or related nomenclatural milestones. For this question, however, the phrase “was published” refers to the first edition, making 1735 correct. B, 1753, is strongly associated with Linnaeus’s Species Plantarum, an important work in plant nomenclature, but it is not the first publication year of Systema Naturae. C, 1758, is associated with the tenth edition of Systema Naturae, which is important in zoological nomenclature, but it is not the first edition. D, 1760, is not the expected publication year. Memory cue: “Systema Naturae started its journey in 1735.”
