• B. Kingdom -- Order -- Class -- Division -- Family -- Genus -- Species
• C. Kingdom -- Order -- Division -- Family -- Class -- Genus -- Species
• D. Kingdom -- Division -- Class -- Order -- Family -- Genus -- Species

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The correct taxonomic hierarchy, from higher to lower rank, is: Kingdom, Phylum (or Division in plants), Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. Thus, the correct sequence from the options provided is: Kingdom -- Order -- Class -- Division -- Family -- Genus -- Species.
(1) Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
- Option 1 incorrectly places Division after Family, which is not the correct sequence in the taxonomic hierarchy.
- Option 3 places Division after Order, which is incorrect.
- Option 4 places Division at the wrong level in the hierarchy, ahead of Class.

Conclusion: The correct order of taxonomic groups from higher to lower rank is Kingdom -- Order -- Class -- Division -- Family -- Genus -- Species.
