Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar) is a sequence of 12 powerful yoga poses. Let us look at the order of the given poses from start to end in the sequence:

1. Prayer Pose (Pranamasana): This is the first pose (Pose 1) in the Surya Namaskar sequence, where you stand upright and bring your hands together in a prayer position in front of your chest. This corresponds to (C).
2. Raised Arms Pose (Hastauttanasana): This is the second pose (Pose 2), where you inhale and stretch your arms up and back, arching the body backward. This corresponds to (B).
3. Equestrian pose (Ashwa Sanchalanasana): This is the fourth pose (Pose 4) in the sequence, where you push one leg back, lower the hips, and look upward. This corresponds to (A).
4. Mountain Pose (Parvatasana): This is the fifth pose (Pose 5), where you bring the other leg back and lift the hips up to form an inverted 'V' shape. This corresponds to (D).

Thus, rearranging the steps in chronological order from start to end gives (C), (B), (A), (D).
