What is the primary function of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To ensure correctness and stability of scientific names of animals

Correct answer: A. The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature is a set of rules for forming, publishing, and deciding the correct use of scientific names for animals. Its purpose is nomenclatural stability: the same animal taxon should not receive many competing names, and the same name should not be confusingly applied to different taxa. Option A is correct because the code regulates priority, availability, authorship, and other naming matters. Option B is incorrect because hunting is controlled by wildlife-protection laws, not by a nomenclature code. Option C is incorrect because the ICZN does not conduct field collection or discovery. Option D is incorrect because habitat creation belongs to conservation and environmental management. A useful distinction is: ICZN governs names, while conservation laws govern protection and habitats.
