• A. Cohort
• B. Phylum
• C. Class
• D. Genus

Answer 1

The correct option is D Genus

• Characteristics which delimit a family are more general than those which delimit a genus as the number of similar characteristics increases from species to kingdom.
  
• The term Genus comes from the Latin genus, a noun form cognate with gignere (to bear). Linnaeus popularized its use in his 1753 Species Plantarum.
• However the French botanist Joseph Pitton de Tournefort is considered as "The founder of the modern concept of genera".

So the correct answer is 'Genus'.
