In the taxonomic hierarchy, the category Order comes immediately above which category?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Family

Answer: A, Family. The common sequence from lower to higher rank is species, genus, family, order, class, phylum or division, kingdom, and domain in systems that include domain. Thus an order is formed from related families and lies immediately above family. A is correct. B is wrong because class is one rank above order, not immediately below it. C is wrong because genus is below family, with several genera commonly grouped into a family. D is wrong because species is below genus and is much farther below order. A simple way to solve the question is to write the sequence and locate Order: species → genus → family → order → class. Memory cue: ‘Family comes before Order’ when moving upward through the hierarchy.
