Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the concept of taxonomy, which is the hierarchical system used to classify and organize living organisms based on shared characteristics.
Step 2: Familiarize yourself with the major levels of taxonomy, which include (from broadest to most specific): Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.
Step 3: Recognize that the 'Domain' is the broadest and most inclusive level of taxonomy, encompassing all other levels beneath it. Domains include Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
Step 4: Compare the other options provided (Order, Family, Genus) to Domain. These are narrower levels of classification and are subsets within the broader categories of Domain.
Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is 'Domain,' as it is the highest level of taxonomy and includes all other levels within it.
