The correct taxonomic hierarchy in the correct order is given by
Kingdom → Phylum → Class → Order → Family → Genus → Species
Species is the lowest level of classification and shows the high level of similarities among the organisms. One species can be distinguished from other closely related species based on distinct differences in morphology.
So, the correct option is 'Species'.
