The genus of humans is Homo. Which category comes immediately above Homo in the taxonomic hierarchy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Family Hominidae

The correct answer is A, family Hominidae. The relevant sequence of the taxonomic hierarchy, from lower to higher rank, is species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, and kingdom. Humans belong to the genus *Homo*, and the genus *Homo* is placed in the family Hominidae. Therefore, family Hominidae comes immediately above the genus. Option D is wrong because species is below genus, not above it. Option B is a correct category for humans but is not immediately above genus; order comes after family. Option C is also a correct higher category but class comes after order, so it is farther above. Memory cue: “species → genus → family → order → class.” The word “immediately” is important: choose the next rank, not just any higher rank.
