Solution

The correct option is B Characterisation
Classification is not a single step process but involves hierarchy of steps. Characterisation, identification, classification and nomenclature are the processes that are basic to taxonomy. So characterisation is a basic step that leads to the identification of new species of organisms. However in systematics identification is the first step.
