In biological classification, the hierarchical order from most to least inclusive is: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. A phylum is a higher - level taxonomic category than a class. Members of a phylum are less closely related than members of a class. Genus (A) is a lower level (more closely related than class). Species (B) is the most specific (most closely related). Family (D) and order (E) are also lower levels (more closely related) than class.

C. phylum
