Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct sequence: 3, 2, 4, 1, 5
3 — Newly married couple: the smallest social unit (two individuals forming a new household).
2 — Family: the next larger unit that includes the couple and possibly children and other close kin.
4 — Clan: a collection of related families sharing a common ancestor; larger than a single family but smaller than a caste.
1 — Caste: a broader social grouping that can include many clans and families.
5 — Species: the largest biological category here (encompassing all humans) and therefore comes last.
Note: None of the provided option sequences exactly match this correct ordering. The sequence that was marked correct (3, 2, 1, 4, 5) is incorrect because it places caste before clan; clan should come before caste.
