Options
- A(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
- B(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
- C(A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(II)
- D(A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)
Correct answer
A. (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
Step-by-step solution
Based on the definitions of taxonomic categories in NCERT: (A) An assemblage of related families which exhibit a few similar characters is an Order. Thus, (A) matches with (III). (B) A higher category comprising related classes is a Phylum (in animals) or Division (in plants). Thus, (B) matches with (I). (C) A group of related genera with still less number of similarities as compared to genus and species is a Family. Thus, (C) matches with (IV). (D) The category that includes related orders is a Class. Thus, (D) ma
