"use a systematic method to name, organize, and show relationships among species"

Explanation: biological taxonomy provides a standardized system (nomenclature and classification) to name organisms, group them, and reflect their evolutionary relationships using morphological, genetic, and other data. The other choices are incorrect because taxonomy uses scientific (not common) names and does not rely only on physical characteristics.
