In the taxonomic hierarchy, the category 'Genus' comes right below which of the following?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Family

The correct answer is B: Family. The standard sequence from lower to higher rank is species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, and kingdom. Thus, genus is immediately below family and immediately above species. A is wrong because species is below genus, not above it. C and D are higher ranks, but they are not directly adjacent to genus: order is above family, and class is above order. A useful way to solve the question is to write the sequence and locate genus on both sides. The two neighbouring ranks are species below and family above. Memory cue: “Genus has a Family above and Species below.” Do not confuse the word species with the specific epithet; they are related to naming but are not identical terms.
