The steps of a plant breeding program are given below. Arrange them in the correct sequence.
$(a)$ Cross-hybridization among the selected parents
$(b)$ Testing,release,and commercialization of new cultivars
$(c)$ Collection of variability
$(d)$ Selection and testing of superior recombinants
$(e)$ Evaluation and selection of parents

• A
  $e \rightarrow c \rightarrow a \rightarrow b \rightarrow d$
• B
  $c \rightarrow e \rightarrow a \rightarrow b \rightarrow d$
• C
  $c \rightarrow e \rightarrow a \rightarrow d \rightarrow b$
• D
  $e \rightarrow c \rightarrow a \rightarrow d \rightarrow b$
