Solution

The correct option is D Species-Genus-Family-Order-Class-Phylum-Kingdom
The taxonomic hierarchy was introduced by Linnaeus. It is also known as a Linnaean hierarchy. It is used to classify organisms into different categories. It includes the sequence of categories in a decreasing or increasing order from kingdom to species and vice versa. The domain is the highest rank in the hierarchy followed by kingdom, division or phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species in the ascending order. The ascending order will be species, genus, family, order, class, phylum and kingdom. Species is the lowest rank in the hierarchy.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
