Question

Arrange the following in the correct sequence
(A). Inability of different plants to unite successfully when grafted is termed incompatibility
(B). Unrelated plants grafted together are likely to be incompatible
(C). Such plants gradually develop distress symptoms like stunted growth, etc.
(D). This may be due to abnormal growth at the graft union
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (C), (B), (A), (D).
• B. (A), (B), (C), (D).
• C. (B), (A), (D), (C).
• D. (A), (D), (C), (B).

Hint:

For sequence questions, identify the most general statement or the initial cause to be the starting point. Then, find the final outcome or result as the endpoint. Arrange the intermediate statements to form a logical bridge between the start and end.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

 

Step 1: Understanding the Concept: 
The question asks to arrange the given statements into a logical sequence that correctly describes the concept of graft incompatibility. 
 

Step 2: Detailed Explanation: 
A logical explanation of graft incompatibility would follow this order: premise \(\rightarrow\) definition \(\rightarrow\) physical cause \(\rightarrow\) observable symptom. 
\[\begin{array}{rl} 1. & \text{(B) Unrelated plants grafted together are likely to be incompatible. This is the starting premise or general rule. Grafting success depends on taxonomic relatedness.} \\ 2. & \text{(A) Inability of different plants to unite successfully when grafted is termed incompatibility. This statement provides the formal definition of the phenomenon introduced in statement (B).} \\ 3. & \text{(D) This may be due to abnormal growth at the graft union. This statement explains the physiological or anatomical reason for the failure to unite, describing what happens at the physical junction.} \\ 4. & \text{(C) Such plants gradually develop distress symptoms like stunted growth, etc. This is the final step, describing the long-term, visible consequences or symptoms of the incompatibility.} \\ \end{array}\]

Therefore, the correct logical sequence is (B), (A), (D), (C). 
 

Step 3: Final Answer: 
The correct sequence of the statements is (B), (A), (D), (C).
