Arrange plant-related terms into a logical production chain: Items: (a) Plant (b) Food (c) Seed (d) Leaf (e) Fruit Choose the correct causal/chronological sequence.

Introduction / Context:
The chain traces how a plant arises from seed and eventually yields food.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Seed (c) germinates into a Plant (a).
• Leaves (d) perform photosynthesis.
• Fruits (e) form after flowering and fertilisation.
• Food (b) is obtained from plant/fruit produce.

Concept / Approach:
We use natural growth followed by yield.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Food cannot precede plant growth; fruit precedes harvest/consumption.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Placing food before seed/plant breaks causality.
• Other permutations scramble vegetative/reproductive order.

Common Pitfalls:
Ignoring the role of leaves in production.

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