The correct hierarchy of biological organization in a human is cell-tissue-organ-system-organism. This means that cells are the basic unit of life, tissues are groups of cells that work together to perform a specific function, organs are made up of tissues and perform specific functions in the body, systems are made of multiple organs that work together to perform a larger function, and organisms are made up of multiple systems that work together to maintain life. Choice B correctly represents this hierarchy.
