Family is placed between :

Order and genus

The correct answer is Option (1)-Order and genus

The classification of living creatures is a multi-step process that involves a hierarchy of processes, each of which indicates a rank or category.

The category is called a Taxonomic Category because it is part of the larger taxonomic organizations.

All living entities are classed in a descending sequence from kingdom to species or in an ascending sequence from species to kingdom.

Following is a diagram of the hierarchical structure: -

• Kingdom:- In the taxonomic hierarchy, the kingdom is the highest and first most category. It is a collection of phyla or divisions that share very few basic traits.
• Phylum:- (for animals) or Division (for plants) is a level above class. For animals, the term "phylum" is used, whereas, for plants, the term "division" is used.
• Class:- A class is a collection of one or more linked orders.
• Order:- It is described as a set of families kept in the same order.
• Family:- It is the next category after genus. It is made up of distinct groups of related genera that have fewer similarities than genus and species.
• Genus:- A genus is a group of closely related species that share many characteristics with species from different genera.
• Species:- Taxonomic studies consider a group of individual organisms with fundamental similarities as a species.
