Correct answer

B. Species Genus Family Order Class Division Kingdom

Step-by-step solution

The taxonomic hierarchy is the arrangement of various taxonomic categories in a definite order. Moving from the most specific (lowest) to the most general (highest) category, the standard sequence is: Species Genus Family Order Class Phylum/Division Kingdom. In the case of plants, the term 'Division' is used instead of 'Phylum'. Therefore, the correct sequence for a plant is: Species Genus Family Order Class Division Kingdom.
