Solution

The correct option is E II and III
Order is the assemblage of families which exhibit a few similar characters. The similar characters are less in number as compared to different genera included in a family, e.g. plant families like Convolvulaceae, Solanaceae, etc., are included in order-Polimoniales mainly based on floral characters.
In animals, order-Carnivora includes families like Felidae (cat) and Canidae (dog).
