Solution

The correct option is A Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species
The correct descending sequence of taxonomic categories, also known as the taxonomic hierarchy is kingdom, phylum or division, class, order, family, genus and species.
Phylum/ division is below kingdom and above class.
The main difference between phylum and division is that, phylum is a classification level of animal kingdom, whereas division is the alternative classification level to phylum in kingdom Plantae and Fungi.
