Arrange the following works in the chronological order of their publication:
A) Tara
B) Mister Behram
C) Goa
D) Marriage-Poem
E) The Dumb Dancer
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

To understand why this is the correct chronological sequence of their publication, we can look at the publication years of each of these plays:
1. D) Marriage-Poem: Written by Nissim Ezekiel, this play was first published in the collection Three Plays in 1969.
2. C) Goa: Written by Asif Currimbhoy, this prominent play dealing with the liberation of Goa was published in 1970 by the Writers Workshop.
3. E) The Dumb Dancer: Also by Asif Currimbhoy, while composed earlier, its widely referenced publication by the Writers Workshop was released in 1992.
4. A) Tara: Written by Mahesh Dattani, this acclaimed play dealing with gender discrimination and conjoined twins was published in 1995.
5. B) Mister Behram: Written by Gieve Patel, this play was published in its compiled collection form Mister Behram and Other Plays in 2007.

Therefore, arranging the plays from the earliest publication to the latest gives the order: Marriage-Poem (1969) ⇒ Goa (1970) ⇒ The Dumb Dancer (1992) ⇒ Tara (1995) ⇒ Mister Behram (2007), which corresponds to the sequence D, C, E, A, B.
