The correct order of organization within multicellular organisms from least complex to most complex is:

c. cell > tissue > organ > organ system > organism

This order shows that cells are the basic unit of life, which combine to form tissues, tissues then form organs, organs work together in systems, and multiple organ systems make up an organism.
