What is the correct scientific name of Brinjal?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Solanum melongena

A scientific name gives an organism a standard name used by scientists in different places. Brinjal, also called eggplant or aubergine, belongs to the genus Solanum and has the species name melongena. Under binomial nomenclature, the genus begins with a capital letter and the specific epithet begins with a small letter. Together they form the name Solanum melongena.

Option A is therefore correct. Solanum tuberosum is the scientific name of potato, so it belongs to the same genus but is a different species. Mangifera indica is mango, and Panthera leo is lion. Recognizing the genus is helpful, but the complete two-word name is needed to identify brinjal precisely. The supplied choice follows the accepted scientific naming system and correctly identifies this cultivated plant.
