Taxonomy is the branch of biology that deals with the identification and classification of organisms. Carolus Linnaeus is the father of taxonomy. He classified organisms from domain to species level of organization based on their characteristics. The broadest category is the domain. Species is the most basic level of classification. Thus the correct answer is option D.
