    Species

    Explanation:

    The highest taxonomic category is domain followed by kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. Among this, being the highest category, domain includes maximum number of organisms. On the other hand, being the lowest taxonomic category, species would include least number of organisms.

    Example: Domain "eukarya" includes all the eukaryotic organisms while species "sapiens" includes only present day human beings.
