Correct answer
B. As we go higher from species to kingdom, number of common characteristics goes on increasing
Step-by-step solution
Can you recall the basis of the arrangement? Say, for example, as we go higher from species to kingdom, the number of common characteristics goes on decreasing. Lower the taxa, more are the characteristics that the members within the taxon share. Higher the category, greater is the difficulty of determining the relationship to other taxa at the same level. Hence, the problem of classification becomes more complex.
