The correct option is

As per binomial nomenclature:
Scientific names of organisms have the genus name as the first word and species name as the second word.
The genus name begins with a capital letter and the species name begins with a small letter.
When the scientific name is typed or printed, it should be in italics and when handwritten, it should be underlined.
Hence, Cocos nucifera is the correct form of the given scientific name according to the rules of binomial nomenclature.
