taxonomy ranks follow the order - species, genus, family, order. It means that each genus contains many species, each family consists many related genera ( plural of genus ) and so on.
Taxon represents a group of many organisms, not individual organism.
So, the correct option is '(i), (iii) and (iv) are correct'.
