Question

Choose the correct order of taxonomical categories in descending order:
(A). Genus
(B). Order
(C). Phylum
(D). Class

• A. (A), (C), (B), (D)
• B. (C), (B), (D), (A)
• C. (B), (D), (C), (A)
• D. (C), (D), (B), (A)

Hint:

Remember the taxonomical hierarchy: Kingdom → Phylum → Class → Order → Family → Genus → Species. It’s like zooming in from a broad group to a specific entity.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

In the hierarchical classification system, taxonomical categories are arranged in a specific order from the most inclusive to the least inclusive. The correct descending order is:
• Phylum (C): A high-level category grouping related classes.
• Class (D): Includes related orders within a phylum.
• Order (B): Contains families sharing common characteristics.
• Genus (A): A group of related species.
Thus, the correct order is (C) → (D) → (B) → (A).
