The correct option is B Species
Species are the fundamental biological unit of classification. John Ray, an English naturalist coined the term species.
A species is a biological unit. They possess distinct morphological characters. They interbreed among themselves. They are reproductively isolated from other species. They have a common gene pool. There is a free flow of genes among themselves and each species has the capacity to give rise to new species.
