Solution
The correct option is B Species
Species is the only taxon where we find the real or actual existence of the individual organism. This is because "species" is the lowest taxon, and all the other taxa are built over the species level. Interbreeding too occurs only at the species level. Thus, species is the only actual distinct taxon that exists in nature. All the other taxa are merely identified based on certain common characteristics observed.
