Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Classification or naming an organism is part of the taxonomy. Taxonomy classifies a specific organism on the basis of the similarities and differences between this organism and the species have similar characteristics or similar body.

On the basis of shared similar physical characteristics, Archie can place the organism in a hierarchy of taxa, beginning with the kingdom and continuing through phylum to species.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
