Question

The various taxonomic levels (e.g. genera, classes, etc.) of the hierarchical classification system differ

from each other on the basis of __________.
(a) how widely the organisms assigned to each are distributed throughout the environment
(b) the body sizes of the organisms assigned to each
(c) their inclusiveness
(d) the relative genome sizes of the organisms assigned to each
(e) morphological characters that are applicable to all organisms

Answer 1

(c) their inclusiveness.

Step-by-step explanation:

The taxonomic classification has eight levels, they go from the more inclusive to the more exclusive.

The eight categories are: Domain which is the most inclusive level, that is to say, that the largest number of individuals are included in this level. There are three domains according to the cells types, and where they live. They are the Eukarya, Bacteria and Archaea. Domains are divided into kingdoms, they are the Plantae, protista, Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Animalia and Fungi. After kingdoms the Phylum category comes, following Phylum is Class, various classes that are related will form a Phylum. The next category is Order, order is divided into Family, families are broken into Genus, where species are closely related between each other and finally the last category is Especies identifier, in this group there are unique characteristics that will identify a specie. With this classification we can see that we go from global groups to more specifics ones as the classification avances.
