Correct Answer DBCA

The correct answer is option 2) i.e.DBCA.

  • D is the first sentence because it introduces the subject 'Germination'.
  • Only B can follow D, because, A cites examples of germination, which will come after proper explanation of it. B mentions the term 'also' to redefine it in a different aspect. 'Also' can only be used here only when the subject has been explained once or twice, though in different aspects. So, B would follow D.
  • C comes next as it gives another definition of germination.
  • A will be in the fourth position.

Thus, the correct arrangement is : DBCA.
