选项 A、types
B、categories
C、species
D、classes
答案C
解析 本题考核的知识点是：of结构+名词辨析。of结构考查修饰关系。四个词都有“种类，类型”的意思。type指一种类型，如：Cotton is a type of material．棉花是一种材料。category侧重在一大系统中将各种物质进行划分，如：There are different categories of books in a library．图书馆里有各种不同种类的书籍。species专门指(植物或动物的)种，如 Some species of animals have become extinct because they could not adapt to a changing environment．有一些动物已经灭种了，因为它们不能适应环境的变化。class侧重按照质量、等级进行划分，如top class student一流的学生。文中指的是植物、动物的种类，因此C为答案。
