Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the hierarchical classification system in biology, which is organized as: Domain > Kingdom > Phylum > Class > Order > Family > Genus > Species.
Recognize that organisms in the same class are grouped together based on shared characteristics and must also belong to broader taxonomic categories above 'class' in the hierarchy.
Identify that 'phylum' is the taxonomic rank directly above 'class' in the hierarchy, meaning all organisms in the same class must also belong to the same phylum.
Eliminate the other options: 'family,' 'order,' and 'genus,' as these are ranks below 'class' in the hierarchy and do not encompass all organisms in a given class.
Conclude that organisms in the same class must also belong to the same phylum, as it is the broader category that includes all classes within it.
