Correct Answer
(B) Mangifera indica Linn.
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (B) Mangifera indica Linn. Solution: The name of the author is added after the specific epithet, at the end of the biological name, in an abbreviated form. As Mango was first described by Linnaeus, it is written Mangifera indica Linn. (option A wrongly abbreviates 'Carolus Linnaeus'; C omits the author; D wrongly capitalises the specific epithet 'Indica'). NCERT Reference: Ch 1 The Living World, p.5, lines 7–9 — "Name of the author appears after the specific epithet... written in an abbreviated form, e.g., Mangifera indica Linn."
