As we move from family to phylum category of classification, common characteristics gradually become less in number.
This is the basis of how we set hierarchy sequence i.e. firstly grouping together organisms with most common characteristics and gradually separating them as common characters decreases.
So, the correct option is 'Phylum, class, order, family'.
