## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: D
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
 **Primary Concept**: Binomial Nomenclature
 **Related Topics**: Taxonomy, Scientific Naming, Genus and Species
 **Prerequisites**: Understanding of the rules for writing scientific names.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
  Options for the scientific name of Mango.
  Binomial nomenclature rules require the genus name to be capitalized and the species name to be lowercase, both italicized.
**Method & Steps**:
 1. Examine each option to identify the one that follows the rules of binomial nomenclature.
  Reasoning: The genus name (*Mangifera*) should be capitalized, and the species name (*indica*) should be lowercase. Both should be italicized.
  Formula/Rule:  $Genus$ $species$
 2. Eliminate options that violate the capitalization or italicization rules.
  Working: Option A (*Mangifera Indica*) incorrectly capitalizes the species name. Option B (*mangifera indica*) incorrectly uses lowercase for the genus name. Option C (Mangifera indica) lacks italicization. Option D (*Mangifera indica*) correctly capitalizes the genus, lowercases the species, and italicizes both.
 3. Select the correctly formatted scientific name.
  Result: *Mangifera indica*
  Verification: This follows the rules of binomial nomenclature.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
A :x: Incorrect capitalization of species name.
B :x: Incorrect capitalization of genus name.
C :x: Missing italicization.
D ✓: Correct capitalization and italicization of genus and species names.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
 **Common Mistakes**:
  1.Incorrect capitalization: Forgetting to capitalize the genus name or lowercasing the species name.  Avoid this by memorizing the rule: Genus is capitalized, species is lowercase.
  2.Missing or incorrect italicization: Forgetting to italicize the entire scientific name.  Avoid this by consistently applying italics when writing scientific names.
 **Quick Tips**:
  1.Remember the acronym 'GIS' (Genus Italicized Species) to help remember the formatting rules.
  2.Always double-check your work to ensure both parts of the scientific name are correctly formatted.
