Understand the hierarchical structure of the biological classification system, which is used to organize and categorize living organisms. The system is structured from broad to specific categories.
The main levels of classification, from broadest to most specific, are: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.
Recognize that 'Species' is the most specific level in this hierarchy. It refers to a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
Compare the given options: Genus, Order, Family, and Species. Identify that 'Species' is the most specific level among these options.
Remember that each level of classification provides more specific information about the organism, with 'Species' being the most detailed and specific level.
