Options
- A(A), (B), (C), (D).
- B(D), (C), (A), (B).
- C(B), (A), (D), (C).
- D(C), (B), (D), (A).
Correct answer
D. (C), (B), (D), (A).
Step-by-step solution
The anther wall in angiosperms consists of four layers. From the outermost to the innermost, these layers are the epidermis, endothecium, middle layers, and tapetum. The question asks for the sequence from inside out. Therefore, the innermost layer comes first, followed by the outer layers in order. The sequence from inside out is: 1. Tapetum (C) 2. Middle layers (B) 3. Endothecium (D) 4. Epidermis (A) This corresponds to the sequence (C), (B), (D), (A). Answer: (C), (B), (D), (A).
