The correct response is domain and kingdom only.

Humpback whales and basking sharks both belong to the same domain (Eukarya) and kingdom (Animalia), but they differ in their phylum and class. Humpback whales are classified as mammals (class Mammalia) while basking sharks are classified as fish (class Chondrichthyes).
