Solution
The correct option is A One
The classification process involves a hierarchy of steps (taxonomic hierarchy) with a category in every step known as the taxonomic category.
Each category, referred to as a unit of classification represents a rank and is commonly termed as taxon. So, taxon is a part of taxonomic hierarchy.
Species is the lowest category of a taxonomic hierarchy, whereas the genus consists of a group of related species and comes after species in a taxonomic hierarchy when arranged in an ascending order.
