The Correct Option is C

Approach Solution - 1

To form a coherent sentence, we need to identify the logical flow of the parts provided. The sentence should begin with a general subject introduction and then detail specific elements:

  1. Begin with the subject of the sentence which is "our responses to basic tastes." This is part (C).
  2. Follow it with a conjunction that connects to another clause, "are inborn but our." This is part (A).
  3. Next, introduce a new element related to the previous subject, "perceptions of smells, the main." This is part (D).
  4. Finish the sentence by completing the idea introduced earlier, "constituents of flavor, are learned." This is part (B).

The assembled sentence is: our responses to basic tastes are inborn but our perceptions of smells, the main constituents of flavor, are learned.

The correct sequence is therefore: (C), (A), (D), (B).

Approach Solution -2

The correct sequence is:

(C), (A), (D), (B)

Explanation:

The correct sequence arranges the phrases logically to form a meaningful sentence:

(C) "our responses to basic tastes" begins the sentence by introducing the subject, which is related to how we respond to fundamental flavors like sweet, salty, bitter, and sour.

(A) "are inborn but our" connects to the idea that while responses to basic tastes are natural, the rest of the sensory experiences (smell and flavor) are learned.

(D) "perceptions of smells, the main" introduces the concept of smell, which plays a significant role in the overall flavor experience.

(B) "constituents of flavor, are learned" concludes by emphasizing that the actual constituents or complexities of flavor are learned over time, as influenced by experience.
