• B. Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
• C. Genus, Species, Kingdom, Phylum, Order, Class, Family
• D. Species, Genus, Family, Class, Order, Phylum, Kingdom
• E. Domain, Phylum, Kingdom, Genus, Species, Family, Order, Class

Answer 1

The correct option is B Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species

Most inclusive means the taxons which includes most variety of organisms or plants despite of differences.

Thus, it should start from the higher taxon- that is Domain and end with the least inclusive - that is species (with maximum similarity).

The sequential order is:

Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
