Arrange the plant parts in their natural developmental order. (a) Leaf (b) Fruit (c) Stem (d) Roots (e) Flower

Introduction / Context:Like Q103162, this question checks the vegetative-to-reproductive progression in plants.

Given Data / Assumptions:Roots start uptake; stems support; leaves generate food; flowers reproduce; fruits develop thereafter.

Concept / Approach:Vegetative organs precede reproductive organs.

Step-by-Step Solution:Roots (d) → Stem (c) → Leaf (a) → Flower (e) → Fruit (b).

Verification / Alternative check:Fruit without flower is impossible; leafless fruiting for most species is atypical.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:Any order that breaks the vegetative-first rule is incorrect.

Common Pitfalls:Assuming leaf must always be strictly before stem; in growth, these co-develop, but in logical sequencing, root→stem→leaf is standard.

Final Answer:(d), (c), (a), (e), (b)
