Answer:
The term taxon (plural - taxa) represents any group or rank in a biological classification into which related organisms are classified. Both potato and tomato may belong to the same family (solanaceae) but in hierarchical classification potato is a plant tuber and tomato is a fruit, hence potato and tomato do not represent similar category in hierarchy.

Option (C) Monochlamydae and Monocots
- Polypetalae refers to the botanical group of plants which possess free petals.
- Gamopetalae also refers to the botanical group of plants which possess petals that are united.
- Monochlamydae is an artificial taxonomic group used in the identification of plants whose flowers are nearly coextensive, Apetalae which is the flowers that do not contain any petals or sepals.
- Polypetalae, Gamopetalae and Monochlamydeae all three belong to the division of group dicotyledons.
- Dicotyledons are the plants whose embryos contain two cotyledons these plants also possess a tap root system.
- Whereas monocotyledons are the plants whose embryos contain a single cotyledon these plants also possess a fibrous root system.
- Therefore option (C) does not follow the taxonomic hierarchy.
