Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

Scientific names are given to organisms to ensure each organism has a unique and universal name.

They prevent the use of different names for the same organism in different regions.

They also avoid duplication, where the same name is used for different organisms.

Thus, scientific naming brings clarity and uniformity in biology.
