Arrange the developmental stages of a plastid in a plant cell starting from an undifferentiated state in the meristematic tissue, through dark-grown conditions, exposure to light, and finally during senescence/ripening: 1. Etioplast (characterized by prolamellar bodies due to lack of light) 2. Chromoplast (characterized by accumulation of carotenoids during ripening) 3. Proplastid (small, undifferentiated precursor plastid) 4. Chloroplast (characterized by fully developed thylakoids and chlorophyll) Select the correct answer using the code given below:

Options:

  • A: 3-4-1-2
  • B: 3-1-2-4
  • C: 1-3-4-2
