    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    : A sub-species is an aggregate of phenotypically similar populations of a species, inhabiting a geographic subdivision of the range of a species, and differing taxonomically from other populations of the species. A trinomen is used to designate a subspecies taxon. Every subspecies has a normal name having generic, specific and then subspacific designation. For example, the British red deer is called Cervus elaphus scoticus, while the continental red deer is called Cervus elaphus elaphus.
