Which of the following illustrates the correct way to present the scientific name of humans?
Homo sapiens
Homo sapiens
homo sapiens
Homo Sapiens
The correct option is (B) Homo sapiens.
option A is incorrect as while writing specie name in scientific terms, hyphen (-) is never used to connect two words.
Option C is incorrect because both the words are starting with small letters.
Option D is incorrect because both the words start with capital letters.
The correct way of writing a scientific name for a specie should be the first letter of the first word should be captial and all other letters following it must be small even for any other word following it. And the words should be separated by space only without any other symbol. Option B satisfies these criteria. Thus it is the correct option.
