The correct answer is option 1, Linnaeus. Binomial nomenclature is a system of naming organisms with a two-part Latinized name, consisting of a genus name and a specific epithet. It was proposed by Carolus Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist, in the 18th century. Linnaeus is known as the father of modern taxonomy and his work laid the foundation for the classification and naming of organisms that is still widely used today. Option 2, John Ray, was an English naturalist who made significant contributions to taxonomy and classification, but he did not propose binomial nomenclature. Option 3, Huxley, refers to Thomas Henry Huxley, who was a prominent biologist, but he did not propose binomial nomenclature either. Option 4, Aristotle, was a Greek philosopher and scientist who made important contributions to many fields of study, but he did not propose the concept of binomial nomenclature.
