Beth wrote the following description of the life cycle of non-flowering, seed-bearing plants. Read her description and find the mistake.

"Non-flowering, seed-bearing plants go through four major stages in their life cycles. The first stage is when the plant is a seed from a cone. The second stage is when the plant sprouts out of the seed and the cones begin to grow. The third stage is when the plant is a seedling. The fourth stage is when the plant is a bigger seedling."

What statement corrects the error in Beth's report?

There are five stages in the life cycle of non-flowering, seed-bearing plants, not four.
The first stage is when roots will grow out of the seed and down into the soil.
The third stage is when the plant sprouts out of the seed and the flower grows.
The fourth stage is when the plant is an adult plant growing leaves and cones which produce more seeds.
