Explanation:

The classification of the animals are done on the basis of similarity and differences among the individuals. The system of classification was first explained by Linnaean classification.

The most inclusive of the taxonomy level is kingdom that includes in the plants and animals in the separate kingdom. From the kingdom they are further classified into phylum then into the class, family and order. After the order the organisms are further classified into genus and the species is the least inclusive level of taxonomy.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
