Answer:
The correct answer is option C, that is, kingdom.
Explanation:
Taxonomic ranking refers to the hierarchy system used for the classification of the organism. In this ranking, domains are differentiated into kingdoms, the kingdoms are differentiated into phylum. The phyla are differentiated into class, and the class is further differentiated into orders.
The orders are differentiated into the genus, and the genus is ultimately differentiated into species. The phylum is classified as lower to the kingdom and higher to the class. Thus, the organism coming under the same phylum must exhibit a similar kingdom.
