(i) Lower the taxon, more are the characteristics shared – Correct. For example, species share more traits than a family.
(ii) Order is the assemblage of genera which exhibit a few similar characters – Incorrect. An order groups families, not genera directly, and shares more characteristics than “a few”, not fewer.
(iii) Cat and dog are included in the same family Felidae – Incorrect. Cats belong to Felidae, but dogs belong to Canidae, so they are in different families.
(iv) Binomial nomenclature was introduced by Carolus Linnaeus – Correct.
