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-$II$
$a.$ Binomial nomenclature	$(i)$ Carolus Linnaeus
$b.$ Generic name	$(ii)$ Muscidae
$c.$ Family	$(iii)$ Panthera
$d.$ Systema naturae

List-$I$ (Scientist)	List-$II$ (Contribution)
$a$. Andreas Vesalius	$p$. Micrographia
$b$. $A$.$V$. Leeuwenhoek	$q$. De Humani Corporis Fabrica
$c$. $W$. Harvey	$r$. Species Plantarum
$d$. $C$. Linnaeus	$s$. Philosophie Zoologique
$e$. Robert Hooke	$t$. Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus
$f$. Lamarck

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