  1. A
    i, iv, ii, iii
  2. B
    iii, ii, iv, i
  3. C
    i, ii, iii, iv
  4. D
    i, iv, iii, ii

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's compare the words letter by letter according to alphabetical order:
All words start with "Fore". Let's check the 5th letter onwards:

i. Forehead ⟹ 5th letter is 'h'

ii. Forensic ⟹ 5th letter is 'n'

iii. Forest ⟹ 5th letter is 's'

iv. Foremost ⟹ 5th letter is 'm'

Arranging the 5th letters alphabetically: 'h' < 'm' < 'n' < 's'.
Thus, the correct alphabetical order is:

Forehead (i)

Foremost (iv)

Forensic (ii)

Forest (iii)

The sequential arrangement is i, iv, ii, iii.
