Solution

The correct option is A 2 individuals of species
As we move from higher taxonomic rank to lower one, common characters increase.
Among species, genus, family and families; species is the lowest taxonomic rank. Hence, two individuals of the same species will share maximum number of common characters.
So, the correct option is '2 individuals of species'.
