Which of the following is less general in characters as compared to genus

(1) Species

(2) Family

(3) Class

(4) Division

Consider the following statements:

I. Higher the taxa, more are the characteristics that members whithin the taxon share.

II. Lower the category, greater is the difficulty of determining the relationship to other taxa at the same level.

Of the two statements:

(1) I is true but II is false

(2) I is false but II is true

(3) Both I and II are true

(4) Both I and II are false

As we go lower from kingdom to species, the number of common characters at each taxon:

1. Goes on decreasing

2. Goes on increasing

3. Remains same

4. There is no pattern to this
