The correct sequence of taxonomic categories is _________________.a)Di...
Taxonomic classification is a multi-step process, these taxons are in order and hence also called taxonomic hierarchy. It depends upon the characteristics of the organisms and includes their similarities and differences in them.
- Species: This taxonomic category contains a group of individuals that have common fundamental similarities. Species can be distinct from one another by morphological differences.
- Genus: This taxonomic classification contains a group of related species. These species have a few common characters among themselves. For example, the genus Felis includes all cats. The genus Panthera includes P.tigris, P.pardus, P.leo; these are tiger, leopard, and lion respectively.
- Family: This taxonomic category contains a group of related genera; in plants, families are divided into two categories: vegetative and reproductive structures. In animals, they are based on physical similarities between two genera, which are fewer than at the species and genus level. For example, house cats and lions both belong to the Felidae family, and dogs and wolves both belong to the Canidae family.
- Order: This taxonomic category has a group of related families, these are identified based on aggregated characters. Families that exhibit similar characters are placed under a single order. Felidae and Canidae both come under the order Carnivora.
- Class: This taxonomic category comprises related orders. The class Mammalia includes Primata and Carnivora which are composed of monkeys, humans, gorillas, gibbons, and tiger dogs, cats, and wolves. The class Mammalia has many more orders on it.
- Phylum: This taxonomic category comprises many classes. These phyla are classified on the basis of fundamental features like the presence of the notochord and are classified under phylum Chordata.
- Kingdom: This is the highest taxonomic classification and consists of many phyla. The Kingdom Animalia consists of all heterotrophic multicellular eukaryotic animals.

Hence, the Correct Answer is D
