  • Species $\rightarrow$ Genus $\rightarrow$ Family $\rightarrow$ Order $\rightarrow$ Class $\rightarrow$ Phylum/Division $\rightarrow$ Kingdom

Answer

Correct option: D.
Species $\rightarrow$ Genus $\rightarrow$ Family $\rightarrow$ Order $\rightarrow$ Class $\rightarrow$ Phylum/Division $\rightarrow$ Kingdom
d
Species is the lowest category in basic taxonomic hierarchy and has the maximum common characterstics with other species under the same genus. The genus is an aggregate or a group of closely related species. Family is the group of closely related genera, and has less common characterstics than species or genus rank. Order is a higher taxon and is the assemblage of families having similar characterstics. Class is a group of related orders. Phylum: The classes with similar features are grouped into phylum in animals and division in plants. The phyla are grouped into still broader categories, called kingdom.
