Which the most inclusive taxonomic grouping a) order b) species c) genus d) kingdom

Answer: d) Kingdom

Explanation:

Kingdom is the most inclusive group of the taxonomy because it includes all forms of life in it. It contains all the six kingdoms (Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Archaea, and Bacteria) in it.

The number of species decreases in each level from top to the bottom. That's why Kingdom is the second highest taxonomic group and Species is the most exclusive as it contains less number of organisms than any other group.

The correct answer is d) kingdom.

Taxonomy is the branch of biology which deals in categorizing and naming of species. The modern taxonomic classification system consists of the eight taxonomic groups. These are Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. The domain is the most inclusive of the all taxonomic groups and species is the least inclusive. It is because every different species has a unique features. In this question domain is not in the option, thus Kingdom is the correct answer As it includes different Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.
