Solution :

The correct option is D, E, B, A, C.

To arrange these famous detective novels by Agatha Christie in the correct chronological order of their publication, we can look at their respective release years:

D) The Mysterious Affair at Styles (1920): This was Agatha Christie's debut novel, which introduced the world to her famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot.

E) The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (1926): A landmark work in the detective genre, famous for its controversial twist ending and featuring Hercule Poirot.

B) Murder in the Orient Express (1934): (Commonly known as Murder on the Orient Express) One of Christie's most famous and widely adapted detective novels featuring Hercule Poirot.

A) Delhi on the Nile (1937): (A typographical error in the question for Death on the Nile) This classic locked-room mystery set aboard a steamer in Egypt was published in 1937.

C) Sparkling Cyanide (1945): This detective novel, featuring Colonel Johnny Race, was published later in 1945.

Following this chronology, the publication order is 1920 (D) ⇒ 1926 (E) ⇒ 1934 (B) ⇒ 1937 (A) ⇒ 1945 (C), which corresponds to the sequence D, E, B, A, C.
