(D) genus is a taxonomic category that contains a group of related species which have more characters in common in comparison to species of other genera. $A$ genus can contain a single species (monotypic) or multiple species (polytypic). For example,the genus $Panthera$ includes species like $Panthera$ $leo$ (lion) and $Panthera$ $tigris$ (tiger). Therefore,a genus can include one or more species.
