Question
10. According to the ICZN, names higher than which rank do not have name-bearing types?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) regulates name-bearing types for the species group (holotypes/syntypes), genus group (type species), and family group (type genus, up to Superfamily). Taxa higher than Superfamily (e.g., Order, Class, Phylum) do not use mandatory name-bearing types under the code.
Hint
It is the highest family-group rank regulated strictly by standard ICZN code type designations.
