Vedclass · Answer

(A) In the taxonomic hierarchy,as we move from higher categories (like Kingdom) to lower categories (like Species),the number of common characteristics increases,but the number of organisms decreases.
The standard hierarchy is: Kingdom > Phylum > Class > Order > Family > Genus > Species.
Looking at the given figure,the arrow indicates a decrease in the number of organisms from $W$ to $Z$. Therefore,$W$ must be a higher taxonomic category than $X$,$X$ higher than $Y$,and $Y$ higher than $Z$.
Comparing the options,option $A$ ($W =$ Class,$X =$ Order,$Y =$ Family,$Z =$ Genus) follows this descending order correctly.

Column $I$	Column $II$
$A$. Growth	$I$. Production of offspring
$B$. Reproduction	$II$. Composed of one or more cells
$C$. Metabolism	$III$. Increase in mass and increase in number
$D$. Cellular organization	$IV$. Sum total of all chemical reactions

Arrange the taxonomic categories in the given figure such that the number of organisms decreases as we move from $W$ to $Z$.
