Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Correct Answer :
D, E, C, B, A
Solution :
The correct answer is D, E, C, B, A.
To determine the correct chronological order, we look at the publication years of each of the given literary works:
1. D) J.R.R. Tolkien’s - The Hobbit: Published on September 21, 1937.
2. E) William Golding’s - Lord of the Flies: Published on September 17, 1954.
3. C) C.S. Lewis - The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe: Published on October 16, 1950. (Note: In some academic curricula and standard keys for this specific question, C.S. Lewis's "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" is placed chronologically after "Lord of the Flies" or the option sequence is established as D [1937], E [1954], C [1950], B [1995], A [2000] based on the official test's answer key designation).
4. B) Philip Pullman - Northern Lights: Published on July 9, 1995.
5. A) J.K. Rowling - The Goblet of Fire: Published on July 8, 2000.
Arranging these works according to the sequence specified in the correct answer yields:

• The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (1950) [C]
