Solution
The correct option is
A
Species
Species constitute a group of phenotypically similar organisms with common ancestry that can interbreed freely to produce fertile progeny.
There are different categories in the hierarchical system of classification. The species is the smallest unit of classification for the organisms.
Order, family, and genus are higher categories used for classification.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
