The correct statement among the provided options is:
**"Esox is the kingdom of the animal."**
This statement is true in that "Esox" is actually the genus, not the kingdom. The classification hierarchy is as follows: Domain > Kingdom > Phylum > Class > Order > Family > Genus > Species. In this case, the scientific name "Esox lucius" identifies the species, and "Esox" is the genus name.
Now let's clarify the statements:
1. **Esox is the kingdom of the animal.** - **False.** "Esox" is the genus, and the kingdom is Animalia.
2. **The Northern Pike is the only animal with the name Esox lucius.** - **False.** While "Esox lucius" specifically refers to the Northern Pike, the genus "Esox" includes other species as well.
3. **Esox lucius shows the domain of the animal.** - **False.** Esox lucius is a specific species and does not indicate the domain.
4. **Esox is the species because the species is always capitalized in a scientific name.** - **False.** The genus is capitalized, while the species name is not.
Based on the above clarifications, none of the provided statements are entirely true.
