Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
In landscape design, harmony is created by arranging plants according to height, form and visual balance.

Step 1: Lowest element.
Edges are generally the lowest plant elements used to define borders. \[ B=\text{Edges} \]

Step 2: Next height.
Hedges are usually taller than edges. \[ A=\text{Hedges} \]

Step 3: Climbers and shrubs.
Climbers may occupy vertical support and shrubs provide medium height. \[ E=\text{Climbers},\quad D=\text{Shrubs} \]

Step 4: Tallest element.
Trees are the tallest components in landscape planting. \[ C=\text{Trees} \] Therefore, ascending order of height is: \[ B,A,E,D,C \] \[ \therefore \text{Correct Answer is (C)} \]
