Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The bottom line is that scientific names are often useful, but they can also be misleading.
Detailed explanation-2: -The common name refers to the colloquial name of a taxon or species. It is the name known to the general public or is based on any language other than that of zoological nomenclature. It is different from the scientific name, which is the name assigned to a species and is based on the system of binomial nomenclature.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hence the correct option is B, ‘different in different languages’. Note: A standardized common name would allow everyone to know what organism was being discussed in a particular locality. The name differs according to the region.
