According to binomial nomenclature, can an organism's scientific name contain three words?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, it can contain only two words

Correct answer: A, for binomial nomenclature. The word binomial means “two names” or “two-part name.” The standard scientific name consists of the genus name followed by the specific epithet, so its basic form has two words, for example Homo sapiens. The genus begins with a capital letter, while the specific epithet begins with a small letter; both are italicized in print. A three-word name belongs to a different convention called trinomial nomenclature, often used when an additional infraspecific rank is being indicated. Therefore B describes a possible trinomial situation but does not answer the question about a binomial name. C and D are wrong because the rule is not limited to plants or personal preference. Memory cue: bi = two; tri = three.
