By which scientist was the book 'Systema Naturae' written?

Correct answer: Carolus Linnaeus

Correct answer: B, Carolus Linnaeus. Systema Naturae is the important work associated with Carolus Linnaeus, the Swedish naturalist whose work greatly influenced the organization and naming of organisms. Linnaeus helped establish the use of binomial nomenclature, in which each species receives a two-part scientific name. A, Charles Darwin, is chiefly associated with evolution by natural selection, not authorship of this book. C, Lamarck, proposed an early evolutionary explanation involving inheritance of acquired characters; he did not write Systema Naturae. D, Robert Whittaker, proposed the five-kingdom classification much later. A useful memory link is: Linnaeus—naming and classification; Darwin—natural selection; Whittaker—five kingdoms.
