The correct sequence of taxonomic categories can be observed in the case of both (a) and (c) as the hierarchy includes Species, Genus, Family, Order, Phylum, and Kingdom that are arranged in an ascending manner. While in the case of option (b) Species need to be written first then Genus is to be written since species is the basic unit of classification. Thus, option (b) does not show the correct sequence of hierarchy.

Why is a key helpful in the identification and classification of an organism?
Define and understand the following terms:
(i) Phylum
(ii) Class
(iii) Family
(iv) Order
(v) Genus
Try to collect all the currently accepted meanings for the word species. Discuss with your teacher the meaning of species in the case of higher plants and animals on one hand and bacteria on the other hand.
Define a taxon. Give some examples of taxa at different hierarchical levels.
