Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Understanding biological classification is crucial in biology. The classification system, also known as taxonomy, helps scientists categorize all living organisms. The hierarchy includes several levels: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.

Primates are categorized within this hierarchy. Let's break down where humans fit:

Humans, known scientifically as Homo sapiens, are classified as follows:

Level	Name
Domain	Eukaryota
Kingdom	Animalia
Phylum	Chordata
Class	Mammalia
Order	Primates
Family	Hominidae
Genus	Homo
Species	Sapiens

The correct category from the list provided, where humans fit, is Order. Thus, the statement "Humans are primates" refers to their classification at the Order level within the hierarchy. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is Order.
