The hierarchy of biological classification is: Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
The level of classification below phylum is class.
class
* Domain * Kingdom * Phylum * Class * Order * Family * Genus * Species
The largest level of classification in a kingdom is the phylum.
Humans and lizards share the same level of classification as vertebrates, belonging to the Phylum Chordata.
The Order would have the smallest level of classification out of the options provided (kingdom, phylum, order). Order is a classification level under phylum and would have fewer groups of organisms compared to phylum or kingdom.
Class is the level of classification that contains orders and is smaller than phylum.
Class
In biology, a phylum is a taxonomic rank that is used to classify organisms with similar body plans. Organisms within the same phylum share certain characteristics and evolutionary history. It is a major category in the classification of living organisms.

Phylum
phylum
Class
Humans and lizards share the same level of classification as vertebrates, belonging to the Phylum Chordata.
phylum
No, the highest level is kingdom.
Phylum is the second broadest classification grouping for animals, following Kingdom. Phylum divides animals into major groups based on general characteristics such as body structure and organization. Examples of phyla include Chordata (which includes vertebrates) and Arthropoda (which includes insects and crustaceans).
The classification level broader than the phylum level is the kingdom level. Kingdoms are one of the highest levels of biological classification and encompass a wide range of organisms with similar characteristics. Examples of kingdoms include Animalia, Plantae, and Fungi.
