Vedclass · Answer

(D) taxon is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. In biological classification,taxonomic categories such as Kingdom,Phylum,Class,Order,Family,Genus,and Species represent different levels of the taxonomic hierarchy. Each of these categories represents a rank and is commonly referred to as a taxon (plural: taxa). Since Genera,Family,and Class are all levels within the taxonomic hierarchy,they are all considered taxa.

Column-$I$ (Category)	Column-$II$ (Characteristic)
$(a)$ Species	$(i)$ Group of related families
$(b)$ Genus	$(ii)$ Group of related species
$(c)$ Order	$(iii)$ Organisms capable of interbreeding to produce fertile offspring
$(d)$ Family	$(iv)$ Group of species with a common ancestor
	$(v)$ Group of orders
