The correct option is A Species
  • The term species was coined by John Ray. The Zoologist Mayr defined Species as groups of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations which are reproductively isolated from other such groups.
  • Species, the basic unit of classification in the hierarchical taxonomic system. Species are a group of similar organisms sharing a 'common gene pool' and interbreeding freely, producing 'fertile' offspring. A species occur in the form of many interbreeding groups called 'populations'.
  • The Group of similar organisms which can breed among themselves are called species.
