The most important step to determine the taxonomic position of an organism is to place the organism into existing ranks or form a new rank.

In taxonomy there are seven main ranks:

(1) Kingdom

(2) Division(For plants)/Phylum(For animals)
(3) Class
(4) Order
(5) Family
(6) Genus
(7) Species
Hence the correct sequence of taxonomic categories is option (B).
