Which of the following is the correct scientific name of pea?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pisum sativum

Correct answer: B, Pisum sativum. The pea plant belongs to the genus Pisum, and its specific epithet is sativum; together they form the binomial name Pisum sativum. This is a useful example of how a common name is replaced by a standard scientific name that can be understood internationally. Option A, Zea mays, is maize or corn. Option C, Oryza sativa, is cultivated rice. Option D, Solanum tuberosum, is potato. The first word of a scientific name is the genus and starts with a capital letter; the second word is the specific epithet and starts with a lowercase letter. Memory cue: Mendel’s classic pea plant is written as Pisum sativum, not the names of maize, rice, or potato.
