The Linnaean system of classification consists of a hierarchy of groupings, called taxa. Taxa range from the kingdom to the species. The kingdom
is the largest and the species is the smallest taxa. Today, this system includes eight taxa: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.
So the correct answer is "Phylum-Class-Order-Family".
