(ii) A taxon represents a taxonomic group of individual organism.
(iii) The family comprises a group of related genera.
(iv) Taxonomic category class includes related order.

• A. (i), (ii) and (iv) are correct.

• C. (i), (iii) and (iv) are correct.
• D. (ii), (iii) and (iv) are correct

Answer 1

The correct option is C (i), (iii) and (iv) are correct.

taxonomy ranks follow the order - species, genus, family, order. It means that each genus contains many species, each family consists many related genera ( plural of genus ) and so on.

Taxon represents a group of many organisms, not individual organism.

So, the correct option is '(i), (iii) and (iv) are correct'.
