Question

In the taxonomic hierarchy, which category comes immediately between Class and Family?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

By understanding the ascending order of the taxonomic hierarchy (Species -> Genus -> Family -> Order -> Class -> Phylum -> Kingdom), it is clear that 'Order' is the intermediate category. It sits directly above Family (grouping families together) and directly below Class (which groups multiple orders together).
