Question

question: which of the following sequences classifies from broadest to most specific within the animal kingdom? answer options: select one of four family, order, class, phylum class, order, phylum, family phylum, class, order, family phylum, family, class, order

Explanation:

In the animal kingdom's taxonomic hierarchy, the order from broadest to most specific is Kingdom (not in options), Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. So we check the options:

• Option 1: Family, order, class, phylum – this is most specific to broadest, wrong.
• Option 2: Class, order, phylum, family – incorrect order.
• Option 3: Phylum, class, order, family – follows Phylum (broad) → Class → Order → Family (more specific), correct.
• Option 4: Phylum, family, class, order – incorrect order (family is more specific than class and order, so can't come after phylum before them).

Answer:

Phylum, class, order, family
