Choose a meaningful process order from sowing to flowering. Items: 1. Plant, 2. Flower, 3. Sowing, 4. Seedling. Select the correct real-world progression.

Introduction / Context:
This is a process-ordering question. In agriculture/horticulture, a realistic sequence begins with the act of sowing, produces a seedling, grows into a mature plant, and culminates in flowering (and ultimately fruiting and seed set, not listed here).

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Stages: Sowing → Seedling → Plant → Flower.
• We assume normal growth without transplant shocks or special greenhouse steps.

Concept / Approach:
Respect causality: actions precede outcomes. “Sowing” is the initiating action, “Seedling” is the first observable growth stage, “Plant” is the vegetative mature stage, and “Flower” is a later reproductive stage.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Begin with 3 (Sowing) → 4 (Seedling) as the immediate result.Then 1 (Plant) as it matures.Finally 2 (Flower) when the plant reaches reproductive phase.

Verification / Alternative check:
Any order placing Flower before Plant, or Plant before Seedling, contradicts the growth timeline.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They mix outcomes with prerequisites (e.g., putting Plant before Seedling) or insert Flower prematurely.

Common Pitfalls:

• Confusing “Plant” as a generic word that could stand for any stage. Here, it denotes the vegetative, pre-flowering phase.

Final Answer:
3, 4, 1, 2.
