Solution
The correct option is B
Species
The taxonomy triangle is an upright triangle which is divided into various levels, each of which represents a particular taxon. The taxa are arranged from bottom to top, in the order Kingdom (bottom-most), Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species (top-most). The largest taxon thus occupies the bottom-most position, and the smallest taxon, the top-most.
