Where is the headquarters of ICBN located or how does it function to validate plant names?

Correct answer: It is a rulebook managed through international botanical congresses

Correct answer: A. ICBN traditionally means the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature; its current name is the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants. It is not the name of a building, office, or headquarters in a city. It is a set of internationally accepted rules for forming, publishing, and applying scientific names of plants and related groups. These rules are developed and revised through the International Botanical Congress and its nomenclature procedures. The code helps decide matters such as priority, valid publication, and the correct form of a name, so scientists in different countries can refer to the same organism consistently. B, C, and D are incorrect because they treat the code as a physical institution located in a particular city. Memory cue: “Code means rules, not a campus.”
