Multiple Choice

Which rank comes after Kingdom in the standard taxonomic hierarchy?

Explanation:
In taxonomy, ranks go from broad to specific: Domain > Kingdom > Phylum > Class > Order > Family > Genus > Species. The rank directly below Kingdom is Phylum, which groups organisms by major body plan features (for example, Phylum Chordata includes animals with a notochord at some life stage). Domain sits above Kingdom, and Class comes after Phylum, so they are not the rank directly following Kingdom.
