Which is the largest or highest category in the classification of organisms?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Kingdom

The correct answer is A: kingdom is the broadest and highest category among the options given. A taxonomic hierarchy generally moves from broader to narrower levels as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. Thus a kingdom contains several phyla, a phylum contains related classes, and so on. B is wrong because phylum is below kingdom. C is wrong because class is below phylum and kingdom. D is wrong because order is below class and is therefore much narrower than kingdom. In some modern systems, additional ranks or domains may be discussed, but within the school-level hierarchy and the options provided, kingdom is the highest category. Memory cue: from broad to specific, remember K-P-C-O-F-G-S: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.
