All organisms have names that include
A
class and order
B
order and family
C
genus and species
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Such a name is called a binomial name or a scientific name. The generic name or the initial part of the name highlights the genus to which an organism belongs. The second part, or the specific name, identifies the exact species under which the organism falls, within the genus.

Detailed explanation-2: -A number of animal species, however, have the same name for both genus and species, which creates a scientific name known as a tautonym. Moderately well-known examples of tautonyms are those for the wolverine (Gulo gulo), the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), and the moose (Alces alces).
