The correct response is: Each species is an individual organism.

This is because the classification of "species" refers to a specific group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring, but each species itself represents a distinct, individual organism type rather than a collective grouping like higher taxonomic ranks (e.g., genus, family).
