Solution

Correct option is D

Correct Answer: (d)

Explanation:
Correct biological matches for tomato example:

Family → Solanaceae (ii).

Kingdom → Plantae (iv).

Order → Solanales (v).

Species → lycopersicum {iii}(often written Solanum lycopersicum).

Genus → Solanum (i).

Information Booster :

-Standard taxonomic hierarchy (kingdom → phylum → class → order → family → genus → species).

-Solanum lycopersicum is the scientific name for tomato (genus Solanum, family Solanaceae).

-Orders group related families (Solanales groups families including Solanaceae).

-Species epithet (lycopersicum) is always used together with genus to form the binomial name.

-Correct matching is essential for taxonomic identification and classification.
