(D) In biological classification,the hierarchy of taxonomic categories is arranged from the most general (Kingdom) to the most specific (Species).The order is: $Kingdom > Phylum > Class > Order > Family > Genus > Species$.As we move from higher categories to lower categories,the number of shared characteristics increases,meaning the criteria become more specific.Conversely,as we move from lower categories to higher categories,the characteristics become more general.Since a $Family$ is a higher taxonomic category than a $Genus$,the characteristics defining a $Family$ are more general than those defining a $Genus$.
