The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the incorrect statements, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement A**: - "Lower the taxon, more are the characteristics that the members within the taxon share." - This statement is **correct**. In taxonomy, as we move to lower ranks (like species), organisms share more characteristics. 2. **Analyze Statement B**: - "Order is the assemblage of genera which exhibit a few similar characters." - This statement is **incorrect**. An order is actually an assemblage of families, not genera. Genera are grouped into families, and families are grouped into orders. 3. **Analyze Statement C**: - "Cat and dog are included in the same family Felidae." - This statement is **incorrect**. Cats belong to the family Felidae, while dogs belong to the family Canidae. They are in the same order, Carnivora, but not the same family. 4. **Analyze Statement D**: - "Binomial nomenclature was introduced by Carolus Linnaeus." - This statement is **correct**. Carolus Linnaeus is indeed credited with developing the system of binomial nomenclature, which uses genus and species names for scientific classification. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statements are **B** and **C**. ### Final Answer: - Incorrect statements: **B** and **C**. ---
