Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: (d), (c), (a), (e), (b)
Explanation:
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)
