In which of his books did Carolus Linnaeus give the rules of classification and naming of animals?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Systema Naturae

Direct answer: A, Systema Naturae. Carolus Linnaeus presented his scheme of classification in Systema Naturae, and the tenth edition published in 1758 is especially important for zoological nomenclature and the consistent use of binomial names for animals. A is correct because this work dealt with the classification of nature, including animals, and became associated with the rules and practice of their naming. B is wrong because Species Plantarum is chiefly a botanical work on plants. C is wrong because Genera Plantarum is also a work focused on plant genera. D is wrong because Philosophia Botanica discusses botanical principles and terminology rather than being the expected source for animal nomenclature in this question. Do not confuse a book about plant naming with the major Linnaean work used for animal names. Memory cue: Naturae means nature, so Systema Naturae covers the broad classification system.
