Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (d) Plant Kingdom - Phylum - Class - Order
Explanation
Taxonomic ranks run from broadest to narrowest as Kingdom → Phylum (Division) → Class → Order → Family → Genus → Species.
Plant Kingdom is the highest, most inclusive level, then Phylum, then Class, then Order.
Only the sequence Plant Kingdom – Phylum – Class – Order follows higher to lower.
