1. in the 8 levels of classification which level is the broadest category?

b. domain

Explanation:

1. Taxonomy is the scientific study of classification of living things. Domain is a taxonomic category above kingdom. Organization is a general term not specific to classification study.
2. Aristotle was one of the early thinkers on classification. Linnaeus is known for binomial nomenclature but Aristotle was earlier in creating a classification system. Fox is not relevant here.
3. Aristotle classified into animals, plants and minerals (a more basic classification). Linnaeus had a more refined system. Fox is not relevant.
4. Woese and Fox introduced the Three Domain System. Aristotle and Socrates are ancient philosophers not related to this. Linnaeus is not part of this group.
5. Domain is the broadest category in the classification levels. Kingdom is below domain. Species is the most specific.
