The organisms have the same genus. The organisms are in the same phylum. The organisms are in different kingdoms. The organisms are members of the same species.
I gave my students this multiple choice question: If two organisms are classified in different orders but are in the same class, which of these statements is true?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- The organisms have the same genus.
- The organisms are in the same phylum.
- The organisms are in different kingdoms.
- The organisms are members of the same species.

Could you tell me which one is correct?

The organisms are in the same phylum.
