Which of the following is the correct botanical name of Mango?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Mangifera indica

A botanical name is a standardized scientific name used to identify a plant accurately across different regions and languages. Mango belongs to the genus Mangifera and its species is indica, so its correct binomial name is Mangifera indica. In a properly presented scientific name, the genus begins with a capital letter and the specific epithet begins with a small letter; the name is traditionally italicized in print.

Option B is therefore correct. Solanum tuberosum is the scientific name of potato, Homo sapiens names humans, and Panthera leo names the lion. These alternatives are genuine scientific names, but they refer to different organisms. Recognizing both the organism and the two-part structure confirms that Mangifera indicates the genus of mango and indica identifies its species.
