Embryonic Development
The process by which an embryo forms and develops, from fertilization to the fetal stage.
Eudicots
A major group of flowering plants characterized by having two cotyledons in their seedlings, net-veined leaves, and floral organs typically in multiples of four or five.
Torpedo Stage
A stage in plant embryo development characterized by the elongation of the embryo body, resembling the shape of a torpedo.

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
The correct sequence of embryonic development in eudicots starts with the proembryo stage, followed by the globular stage, then the heart stage, and finally the torpedo stage. This sequence reflects the progression from a newly fertilized cell to a more developed embryo ready for further growth.
