Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$A-II,B-I,C-III,D-V,E-IV$. Taxon is a taxonomic group of any rank. Species, the lowest category in the taxonomic hierarchy, is the basic unit of taxonomy. It is the group of individual organisms with fundamental similarities. Division is similar to phylum and used in case of plants. Genus is a group of related species having more character in common with others species. Order is identified based on a number of similar characters.
