Solution

The correct option is C V, III, I, II, IV, VI
Mendel conducted hybridisation experiments on pea plants.

The correct sequence of steps he followed include:

Selection of parents with the desired character.

Emasculation - removal of anthers from a bisexual flower which was selected as a female parent to prevent self-pollination.

Bagging - covering the emasculated flowers with a bag to prevent contamination with unwanted pollen.

Cross-pollination - transfer of desired pollen to the stigma of emasculated flower.

Rebagging - again covering the emasculated flowers to avoid contamination.

Collection of seeds.
