Correct answer
C. Three
Step-by-step solution
As we go higher from species to kingdom, the number of common characteristics decreases. 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. All organisms, including those in plants and animal kingdom, have species as the lowest obligate category.
