Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Hindu tradition prescribes several Samskaras from conception to education.
Step 2: The order is: \[ \text{Garbhadhana} \rightarrow \text{Pumsavana} \rightarrow \text{Simantonnayana} \rightarrow \text{Karnavedha} \rightarrow \text{Upanayana} \]
Step 3: \[ C \rightarrow E \rightarrow B \rightarrow D \rightarrow A \]
