The correct answer is: B < C < A
The number of species in phylum Arthropoda A is more than 1.3 billion because insects form the most species-rich taxonomic group (>70% of the total animals). Phylum Mollusca C is the second largest phylum with approximately 90000+ species. Phylum Chordata B has approximately 60,000 species, among which, half of the species are fishes.
