**Which organism has its scientific name presented correctly in binomial nomenclature?**

- ⦿ None of the options listed is correct
- ⦿ *Staphylococcus aureus* (Selected)
- ⦿ Staphylococcus *aureus*
- ⦿ *Staphylococcus aureus*

**Explanation:**

The image presents a multiple-choice question, commonly used in educational assessments, to test the understanding of binomial nomenclature formatting. The correct answer is marked, which follows the standard convention of italicizing the entire scientific name with the genus capitalized and the species in lowercase: *Staphylococcus aureus*. 

The visual elements include:
- A question prompting identification of correctly presented scientific names.
- Four answer options, matching typical quiz formats, where only one option is designed correctly in italics.
- The second option (*Staphylococcus aureus*) is correctly formatted and selected, confirming the correct answer.

Binomial nomenclature is a formal system for naming species using two terms: the genus name and the species descriptor, both italicized and with the genus name capitalized.
