In the given examples, the terms Mangifera, Solanum, and Panthera represent the higher level of taxon. Taxon refers to a category or grouping in the classification system of organisms. It is used to categorize and organize different species based on their characteristics and evolutionary relationships. The taxonomic hierarchy, option 2, refers to the specific levels of classification such as Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. Specific epithet, option 3, is a term used in binomial nomenclature to denote the species within a genus. Binomial nomenclature, option 4, is the system of naming species using two terms - the genus name and the specific epithet. Hence, option 1 - Taxon, is the correct answer.
