Solution

The correct option is A

The stepwise arrangement of all categories for classification of organisms


Taxonomic hierarchy is the process of arranging various groups, class and other categories into successive levels of the biological classification in a sequence. It could be either in a decreasing or increasing order from kingdom to species or vice versa, respectively. The main taxa in the descending order of hierarchy are kingdom, phylum or division, class, order, family, genus, species.
