A	English
B	Polish
C	Spanish
D	Swedish

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Linnaeus’s most lasting achievement was the creation of binomial nomenclature, the system of formally classifying and naming organisms according to their genus and species.

Detailed explanation-2: -The binomial system of naming species uses Latin words. Each name has two parts, the genus and the species. For example, human beings belong to the genus Homo, and our species is sapiens-so the scientific name is Homo sapiens.

Detailed explanation-3: -He believed it was important to have a standard way of grouping and naming species. So in 1735, he published his first edition of Systema Naturae (The System of Nature), which was a small pamphlet explaining his new system of the classification of nature.

Detailed explanation-4: -Linnaeus first published his major classificatory work Systema naturae in 1735, at the age of 28. Systema naturae provided a classification of the (then) three kingdoms of nature: mineral, vegetable and animal. Linnaeus was the first naturalist to include man within the animal kingdom.
