Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

To arrange these periodicals in chronological order, we look at the year each was founded or first published:
E. Edinburgh Review: Founded in 1802 by Francis Jeffrey, Sydney Smith, and Henry Brougham, it was one of the most influential British magazines of the 19th century.
D. The Quarterly Review: Founded in 1809 by John Murray as a Tory rival to the Whig-leaning Edinburgh Review.
C. The Westminster Review: Established in 1824 by Jeremy Bentham and James Mill as a journal for the philosophical radicals.
B. The Spectator: First published in 1828 (in its modern weekly incarnation, distinct from the early 18th-century daily sheet by Addison and Steele) by Robert Stephen Rintoul.
A. Fraser’s Magazine: Founded in 1830 by Hugh Fraser and William Maginn.

Arranging the publication years chronologically:
1802 (E) → 1809 (D) → 1824 (C) → 1828 (B) → 1830 (A)

Therefore, the correct chronological order is E, D, C, B, A.
