In plants, the vegetative phase is followed immediately by which of the following phase ?

Reproductive phase

The correct answer is Option (1)- Reproductive phase

Juvenile phase - It is the pre-reproductive phase after birth during which the organism undergoes developmental changes to attain sexual maturity. In plants, it is termed the vegetative phase, and is followed by the reproductive phase.

Reproductive phase - During this period, the organism achieves sexual maturity and becomes capable of reproduction. Subsequently, it transitions into the senescent phase.

Senescent phase - Characterized by gradual aging, this phase marks the decline in the organism's reproductive capacity.
