Linnaeus.<\/p>\n<p>Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, and physician who is considered the father of modern taxonomy. He is best known for his binomial nomenclature system, which is still used today to classify organisms.<\/p>\n<p>Binomial nomenclature is a system of naming organisms that uses two Latin words. The first word is the genus, and the second word is the species. For example, the scientific name for humans is Homo sapiens.<\/p>\n<p>Linnaeus developed the binomial nomenclature system in his book Systema Naturae, which was first published in 1735. The system was a major breakthrough in the field of taxonomy, and it has been used to classify millions of organisms ever since.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A. C. Darwin was a British naturalist who is best known for his theory of evolution.<\/li>\n<li>G. Mendel was an Austrian monk who is considered the father of genetics.<\/li>\n<li>E.
