What is the process of arranging organisms into groups based on their characteristics called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Classification

Correct answer: C, classification. Classification is the systematic arrangement of organisms into groups according to shared similarities and differences. Scientists first study characteristics, compare organisms, and then place organisms with suitable common features into groups. Nomenclature, option A, means giving scientific names; it does not itself mean arranging organisms into groups. Identification, option B, means recognising or determining the identity of an organism that has been found. Characterisation, option D, means describing or recording features, but it is not the complete grouping process. Thus, classification is the best answer. Memory cue: identify means “which organism?”, name means “what will we call it?”, and classify means “which group does it belong to?”
