Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

To arrange these famous novels by Thomas Hardy in chronological order of their publication, we can look at the publication year for each work:

1. C) Under the Greenwood Tree was published in 1872. It was Thomas Hardy's second novel and the first of his Wessex novels.
2. D) A Pair of Blue Eyes was published in 1873. It was serialized in Tinsley's Magazine before being published in book form.
3. E) Far From the Madding Crowd was published in 1874. It was Hardy's first major literary success.
4. B) Tess of the D’Urbervilles was published in 1891. Initially, it received mixed reviews due to its controversial themes but is now considered a masterpiece.
5. A) Jude the Obscure was published in 1895. It was Hardy's last completed novel, after which he turned primarily to writing poetry due to the public outrage over the book's themes.

Ordering these publication years from earliest to latest:
1872 (C) ⇒ 1873 (D) ⇒ 1874 (E) ⇒ 1891 (B) ⇒ 1895 (A)

Therefore, the chronological sequence is C, D, E, B, and A.
