Answer: Option B. -> Genus and Species
:
B
Binomial nomenclature is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages. Such a name is called a binomial name, a binomen or a scientific name; more informally it is also called a Latin name. The first part of the name identifies the genus to which the species belongs; the second part identifies the respective species within the genus. For example, humans belong to the genus Homo and within this genus, to the species sapiens. The scientific name is thus, Homo sapiens.

Answer: Option A. -> Class and Family

A
The descending order of taxonomic hierarchy is Kingdom, Phylum or Division, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. Thus, Order comes between Class and Family.

Answer: Option B. -> Same name for genus and species
:
B
A tautonym is a binomial name in which the genus and the species are given the same name. For example, there exists a species of gorilla whose scientific name is Gorilla gorilla. Iguana iguana is another example of a tautonym.

Answer: Option C. -> Assertion [A] is True and Reason [R] is True and is a correct explanation for [A].
:
C
Taxa are arranged in ahierarchical manner from a small group of very closely related organisms to a broader group with more dissimilarities. As we go in the ascending order the number of common characteristics decreases and the grade increases and vice-versa, that is in the descending order, the number of common characteristics increases and the grade decreases. For example, any genus (lower grade of classification) has members with more similarities as compared to a family (ahigher grade of classification) which has members with fewer similarities among them.

Answer: Option B. -> A museum has a collection of photographs of plants and animals.
:
B
A museum has a collection of preserved plant and animal specimens for study and reference.Specimens are preserved in containers or jars in preservative solutions. Plant and animal specimens may also be preserved as dry specimens. Insects are preserved in insect boxes after collecting, killing and pinning. Larger animals like birds and mammals are usually stuffed and preserved. Museums often have collections of skeletons of animals too.

Answer: Option C. -> Linnaeus
:
C
Species Plantarum(Latin for "The Species of Plants") is a book by Carl Linnaeus, originally published in 1753. It lists every species of plant known at that point of time, classified into genera. It is considered to be the place, where plant nomenclature began. Systema Naturae was yet another important publication of Linnaeus, the first edition of which was published in 1735. The tenth edition, considered to be the most important one, is where Linnaeus describes zoological nomenclature.
