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: Introduction: 
The task involves ordering statements into a logical sequence that explains graft incompatibility. 
 

Step 2: Breakdown: 
The logical flow for graft incompatibility is: premise \(\rightarrow\) definition \(\rightarrow\) physical cause \(\rightarrow\) observable symptom. 
\[\begin{array}{rl} 1. & \text{(B) Grafting unrelated plants often results in incompatibility. This establishes the initial rule; success depends on relatedness.} \\ 2. & \text{(A) Graft incompatibility is the inability of grafted plants to successfully unite. This defines the phenomenon from statement (B).} \\ 3. & \text{(D) This failure may stem from abnormal growth at the graft union. This describes the physical reason for the incompatibility.} \\ 4. & \text{(C) Incompatible plants show distress symptoms like stunted growth. This presents the long-term consequences of incompatibility.} \\ \end{array}\]

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

Step 3: Conclusion: 
The correct statement order is (B), (A), (D), (C).
