Which category comes right above Family in the taxonomic hierarchy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Order

Correct answer: B, Order. The standard hierarchy from smaller to larger categories is Species → Genus → Family → Order → Class → Phylum → Kingdom. Therefore, when we move one step upward from Family, we reach Order. A, Genus, is immediately below Family, because related genera form a family. D, Species, is even lower and is the basic unit in this sequence. C, Class, is above Order, but it is not immediately above Family because Order lies between them. The word “right above” is important: it asks for the next single rank, not any higher rank. Memory cue: families are gathered into orders; orders are gathered into classes.
