Answer: 2. Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species

Key idea: The standard hierarchy is Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.

Only option 2 has the ranks in this sequence; every other option puts at least one rank (Order, Class or Phylum) out of place. The question calls the list "ascending", but it runs from the broadest rank to the narrowest, so the wording is loose. Option 2 is still the only correctly ordered choice.
