Solution

The correct option is C Family
Species are the group of organisms who can interbreed. Related species belong to the same genus.
  • The family comprises several genera ( plural of genus ) with less number of similarities compared to genus or species.
  • Order and class are further higher taxonomic categories with even fewer characteristics in common.

So, the correct option is 'Family'.
