What is the correct scientific name of human?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Homo sapiens

Modern humans are scientifically called Homo sapiens. This is a binomial name made of two parts: Homo is the genus and sapiens is the specific epithet. The name identifies the living human species and separates it from other members of the human evolutionary group. Scientific names are written in a standard form so that the same organism can be recognized across languages and regions.

Option B is correct. Homo habilis was an earlier human species, not the scientific name of modern humans. Panthera leo means lion, while Musca domestica means housefly. The presence of Homo in both human names may cause confusion, but the second word distinguishes the species. Modern people belong to Homo sapiens, so the given answer and its genus-species explanation are accurate.
