What is the main drawback of local names of organisms that necessitated scientific names?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They change with location and language

Correct answer: B. A local or vernacular name is used by people in a particular region or language community. The same organism may have several local names in different places, and one local name may sometimes refer to different organisms. This makes communication difficult for scientists from different regions. Scientific names solve the problem by providing a standardized name used internationally under nomenclatural rules. A is wrong because length is not the main problem; a short local name can still be ambiguous. C is wrong because local variation can cause confusion. D is wrong because local names are not restricted to Latin; Latinized scientific names are the standardized system. Memory cue: local name changes with place, scientific name travels across places.
