The scientific name for animals starts with the Kingdom then goes down the list: phylum, class, order, family, genus then the specific epithet, therefore the africana in Loxodonta africanawould be C)specific epithet.(Note: Scientific names should always be italicized, expect for when the family is introduced. For example, the family for the African Elephant would be Elephantidae, starting always with a capital letter as the genus should be as well but not italicized.)
