Answer
Correct Answer: (i), (v), (iv), (iii), (ii)
Explanation
Introduction / Context:We must sequence typical human developmental stages from birth to old age.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Infant → Child → Adolescent → Adult → Old.
- Stages are broad and standard in school-level biology.
Concept / Approach:Use chronological aging, not physical size or social roles.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Start with birth stage (Infant).Then early years (Child) followed by puberty (Adolescent).Adulthood comes next, and finally Old age.Verification / Alternative check:This matches standard textbooks on human development.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They either begin mid-life or invert the timeline (e.g., old before young).
Common Pitfalls:Confusing adolescent with child or placing adult before adolescent.
Final Answer:(i), (v), (iv), (iii), (ii)
