Question

Answer 1

The correct option is C Heirarchy

Hierarchy is the process of arranging taxonomic categories in descending manner in which species are at the lowest level and kingdom at the top.

While classification is the grouping of organisms in scientific manner and taxonomy is the branch of science concerned with classification.

Keys are constructed so that the user is presented with a series of choices about the characteristics of an organism and it helps in the identification of the unknown organism.

So the correct option is 'Hierarchy'.
