Solution

The correct hierarchical arrangement of taxonomic categories in ascending order is

Species → Genus → Family → Order → Class → Phylum → Kingdom

Therefore, both (a) and (c) represent correct sequences of taxonomic categories.

In sequence (b), species should be followed by genus. Therefore, it does not represent the correct sequence.
