Answer

To determine the correct sequence of taxonomic categories of Mango (Mangifera indica) in ascending order, we need to follow the hierarchy of taxonomic classification. Here’s the step-by-step solution:

1. **Identify the Species**: The species of Mango is Mangifera indica. The species is the most specific taxonomic category.
- **Hint**: Start with the most specific category, which is the species.

2. **Identify the Genus**: The genus for Mango is Mangifera. This category groups together species that are closely related.
- **Hint**: The genus is the next level up from species.

3. **Identify the Family**: The family for Mango is Anacardiaceae. This category includes related genera.
- **Hint**: The family groups together multiple genera that share common characteristics.

4. **Identify the Order**: The order for Mango is Sapindales. This category includes multiple families.
- **Hint**: The order is a higher taxonomic level that groups families.

5. **Identify the Class**: The class for Mango is Dicotyledonae. This category includes plants that have two embryonic leaves or cotyledons.
- **Hint**: The class groups together orders that share similar characteristics.

6. **Identify the Division**: The division for Mango is Angiosperms. This category includes flowering plants.
- **Hint**: In plant taxonomy, division is equivalent to phylum in animal taxonomy.

7. **Identify the Kingdom**: The kingdom for Mango is Plantae. This is the broadest category that includes all plants.
- **Hint**: The kingdom is the highest taxonomic category.

Now, putting all these categories together in ascending order, we have:

1. **Species**: Mangifera indica
2. **Genus**: Mangifera
3. **Family**: Anacardiaceae
4. **Order**: Sapindales
5. **Class**: Dicotyledonae
6. **Division**: Angiosperms
7. **Kingdom**: Plantae

Thus, the correct sequence of taxonomic categories of Mango in ascending order is:

**Mangifera indica → Mangifera → Anacardiaceae → Sapindales → Dicotyledonae → Angiosperms → Plantae**

**Final Answer**: The correct answer is option B.
