What are the proper compact connected subgroups of $Spin(n)$ of maximal rank where $Spin(n)$ is the spin group, that is, the universal cover of the special orthogonal group $SO(n)$?

In fact, I am only interested in the lowesthighest dimension of a compact connected subgroup of $Spin(n)$ of maximal rank. I am not sure if this is an easier question.
