• In this question, we have to arrange the set of words in the increasing order of their size and growth.
• This can be easily done by recalling the size associated with the names given in the set.
• For example, in set (a), we must recall that among the water bodies, a stream is the smallest and the ocean the largest. Also, a sea is larger than a river.
• Thus, by following the same procedure, we can answer these sorts of questions.
