The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, "A group of plants with similar traits of any rank is," we need to analyze the options provided: 1. **Species**: This is the most specific level of classification, referring to a group of individuals that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. While species share similar traits, the question asks for a broader term that can encompass any rank. 2. **Genus**: This is a rank above species and includes one or more species that are closely related. However, like species, it is still a specific category and does not cover the broader concept of any rank. 3. **Order**: This is a higher taxonomic rank that includes multiple families. While it represents a group of organisms with shared traits, it is still not the most inclusive term for "any rank." 4. **Taxon**: This term refers to any group of organisms that can be classified together, regardless of the rank. It encompasses all levels of classification, from species to kingdom. Therefore, it is the most appropriate term for a group of plants with similar traits of any rank. Based on this analysis, the correct answer is: **(d) Taxon** ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. Identify the question: A group of plants with similar traits of any rank is. 2. Analyze each option: - **Species**: Specific group, not applicable to "any rank." - **Genus**: Broader than species but still specific. - **Order**: Higher rank, but not inclusive of all ranks. - **Taxon**: General term for any group of organisms classified together. 3. Conclude that the most appropriate answer is **Taxon**.
