Why is a classification species not considered a group?

A each species is a separate type of organism
B each species lacks the characteristics of the levels above
C each species is an individual organism
D each species shares characters with other species

B each species lacks the characteristics of the levels above

A classification species represents a specific type of organism, but it does not encompass a group or higher level of organization like a genus or family. Each species is distinct and separate from other species, and they do not share the characteristics of higher classifications such as genera or families.
