    A)  category          

    B)  taxon

    C)  both [a] and [b ]

    D)  none of these.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    : In systematics, the groups of organisms which are concrete objects of biological classification such as insects, fishes, birds, algae, fungi, ferns, mosses, grasses etc. are taxa. For example, fungi include a group of organisms, which may be recognized as a formal unit, since they have some characteristics in common. Thus ataxon is a group which is sufficiently distinct to be worthy of being distinguished by name and to be named in a definte Category. Category designates rank or level in a hierarchic classification.
