Solution and Explanation

The correct hierarchical arrangement of taxonomic categories in ascending order is 
Species → Genus → Family → Order → Class → Phylum → Kingdom 

Therefore, both (a) and (c) represent correct sequences of taxonomic categories. 
In sequence (b), species should be followed by genus. 
Therefore, it does not represent the correct sequence.
