The concept of 'speciator' was first adopted in which edition of CC ?
Answer: D
The speciator was first adopted in the 7th edition of Colon Classification.
The 7th edition of CC, published in 1987 after Ranganathan's death and edited by M.A. Gopinath, introduced several new devices of the freely faceted version of the scheme. Among them was the speciator, used to divide a basic subject or isolate further into its species, along with new common isolates and a more hospitable notation.
The 4th edition (1952) is remembered for the five fundamental categories PMEST, and the 5th and 6th editions (1957 and 1960) refined the faceted structure, but none of them used the speciator, so the earlier editions are wrong.
