Which level is located right above the 'Family' category in the taxonomic hierarchy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: गण (Order)

The correct answer is A, Order. The relevant part of the taxonomic hierarchy, from higher to lower, is Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. Therefore Order is immediately above Family, while Genus is immediately below it. Option B is wrong because genus is a lower rank than family and contains related species. Option C is not immediately above family: Class is above Order, with Order between Class and Family. Option D is also lower than family and is the narrowest basic rank in this list. To solve the question step by step, write the sequence around the target: Order → Family → Genus. The word “right above” asks for the adjacent higher rank, not any rank that is merely higher somewhere in the hierarchy. A useful memory cue is “O-F-G”: Order, Family, Genus. Thus, even though Class is also higher than Family in the full hierarchy, Order is the level directly above it.
