The correct answer is d It is organized in chronological order, just like life.

Indeed, this speech is the beginning of Jaques’ monologue in Act II, Scene VII of the play AS you Like It. Each age described by the speech makes part of the Seven Ages of man. The notion of both the world as a stage and the life of a person divided into different ages has been present in Western Culture since Classical Antiquity.
