Answer 1

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

This emphasizes that while a species can be composed of many individuals, in the context of classification, a "species" itself is defined as a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring, making it a distinct category rather than a group in a broader sense like higher taxonomic levels (e.g., genus, family).
