Options:
A .  Decrease
B .  Increase
C .  Remain the same

Answer: Option A
:
A
In the Linnaean system of hierarchy, as we go from species to kingdom, the number of common characters decreases, while in the descending order, the number of common characteristics increases. For example, any genus (lower grade of classification) has members with more similarities as compared to a family (ahigher grade of classification) which has members with fewer similarities among them.
