Question

Arrange the following steps of mass selection method of flower crop improvement in correct sequence?
(A). Selection of plants with similar but desirable traits from variable population.
(B). Planting of composite seeds in preliminary yield trials and evaluation of phenotype of selected population.
(C). Evaluation of promising selections in coordinated yield trials at multi-locations.
(D). Compositing of seeds from selected plants.
(E). Seed multiplication of outstanding selection for distribution.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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