C )    It avoids the confusion of the same species having different common names in different places.

Answer: the correct answer is-

Option C)

The present system of scientific naming for classification of organisms is called as binomial nomenclature. According to this system, every life form is named scientifically using two words. The first word depicts the Genus and second depicts the species to which the organism belongs.

Thus, giving scientific name to an organism provides it a universal identity. In other words, there is only one scientific name to one organism.

Therefore, it avoids any confusion of a species, which can have different common names in different locations.

Thus, option C) is the right answer.
