The correct option is C Division
Phylum/Division is a taxonomic category higher than that of class and
lower than that of kingdom. The term phylum is used for animals while
the term division is used for plants. A division or phylum is formed of
one or more classes. The Phylum Chordata or animals contains various
classes such as Aves, Reptilia, Amphibia, Cyclostomata, Chondrichthyes,
Osteichthyes, Mammalia, etc. The division Angiospermae of plants
consists of two classes- Dicotyledonae and Monocotyledonae. So, the correct answer is 'Division'.
