Solution

The correct option is A Division
In the case of plant classification, the taxon "division" is used in place of "phylum". The taxonomical hierarchy is thus Kingdom, Division, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. However, in the case of animal classification, "division", if at all used, is a taxon just lower to "phylum".
