Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept: In a life-cycle sequencing question, the words must be ordered by the real biological progression of a flowering plant, from its dormant embryonic stage to its final fruit-bearing stage.
Application: Applying this to the given words:
Seed — the dormant embryo germinates first.
Plant — the germinated seed grows into a young plant.
Tree — the young plant matures into a full-grown tree.
Flowers — the mature tree produces flowers.
Fruit — pollinated flowers finally develop into fruit.
Cross-check: Reversing any adjacent pair breaks a real constraint — a plant cannot precede its own seed, flowers cannot bloom before the tree matures, and fruit cannot form before flowers are pollinated. Only one order satisfies every constraint.
Answer: Seed, Plant, Tree, Flowers, Fruit — i.e. 2, 5, 1, 3, 4.
