Correct answer: B — Sets I, II, III, IV only
Set I (Man) – correct; jumbled but still matches : Homo sapiens → Homo → Hominidae → Primata → Mammalia → Chordata. Set II (Housefly) – correct; jumbled but still accurate: Musca domestica → Musca → Muscidae → Diptera → Insecta → Arthropoda. Set III (Mango) – correct; jumbled but still valid: Mangifera indica → Mangifera → Anacardiaceae → Sapindales → Dicotyledonae → Angiospermae. Set IV (Wheat) – correct; order shuffled but true: Triticum aestivum → Triticum → Poaceae → Poales → Monocotyledonae → Angiospermae. Set V (Dog) – incorrect; wrongly placed in Family Felidae and Order Primata. Correct classification is Canis lupus → Canis → Canidae → Carnivora → Mammalia → Chordata.
