  • D

Solution

The taxonomic categories in ascending order (from lowest to highest rank) are arranged as follows:

Species $\rightarrow$ Genus $\rightarrow$ Family $\rightarrow$ Order $\rightarrow$ Class $\rightarrow$ Phylum $\rightarrow$ Kingdom

Matching this sequence with the given labels:
Species : (g)
Genus : (a)
Family : (e)
Order : (c)
Class : (b)
Phylum : (d)
Kingdom : (f)

The correct ascending order is (g), (a), (e), (c), (b), (d), (f).

Answer: (g), (a), (e), (c), (b), (d), (f)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
