The option that shows a smooth non-linear progression of events is:
Taylor, age 10, plants an apple seed. A tiny apple tree sprouts from the ground. Apples grow on the tree. Taylor, now a teenager, picks an apple off the tree.
This sequence correctly illustrates the chronological order of events leading from planting the seed to eventually picking an apple, even though it starts with a specific event (planting the seed) and then moves through the growth stages before reaching the final action.
