The development of a composite variety consists of the following important steps. Arrange them in order from the first to the last -
(A) Evaluation of $F_1$s
(B) Mixing in equal quantities the parental seeds of superior crosses
(C) Intermating among selected genotypes to develop $F_1$s
(D) Selection of heterozygous base materials
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Show Hint
To arrange selection-based breeding steps, always start with selecting the base population (D). The final step is mixing the selected seeds (B) to form the composite population. This helps you quickly find the correct sequence.
