Which is the highest rank or category in the taxonomic hierarchy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Kingdom

The correct answer is B: Kingdom. In the hierarchy given here, categories become broader as we move upward: species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, and kingdom. A kingdom includes one or more phyla, so it is higher than phylum. A, phylum, is below kingdom; C, class, is below phylum; and D, order, is below class. These are all genuine taxonomic ranks, but none is the highest among the listed choices. In some modern systems, domains may be placed above kingdoms, but “Kingdom” remains the highest option in this question and in the traditional school sequence being tested. Memory cue: Species–Genus–Family–Order–Class–Phylum–Kingdom; the sequence moves from narrow to broad.
