Solution
The correct option is B Polymoniales, Poales and Sapindales
As we go higher from species to kingdom, the number of common character goes on decreasing. Lower the taxa, more are the characteristics which the members within the taxon share.
Polymoniales, Poales and Sapindales represent an order.
Solanaceae, Convolvulaceae and Poaceae represent family.
Solanum, Petunia and Atropa are the names of genus.
Whereas leopard, tiger and lion are the species names.
So, order have less similarities than family, genus and species.
