B
Binomial nomenclature refers to a system of naming of plants/ animals that was developed by Karl vonn Linne. In this type of nomenclature an organism is defined by a two-part name where the first part denotes its genus and the second the species to which it belongs.
Evolution is the process of change in all forms of life over generations. It does not specifically include change in genetic makeup.
Ecology refers to the study of relationship of organisms to one another and to their environment.
Organic evolution refers to process by which there is change in genetic composition of populations of organisms in response to changes in environment.
