• D. A, C, D, E, B

Hint:

Chronology clue: \[ \text{Rembrandt} \rightarrow \text{Goya} \rightarrow \text{Daumier} \rightarrow \text{Degas} \rightarrow \text{Picasso} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
To arrange artists chronologically, we compare their birth period and their art historical period.

Step 1: Identify the earliest artist.
Rembrandt was a seventeenth-century Dutch artist. So, the first is: \[ A = \text{Rembrandt} \]

Step 2: Place Goya.
Goya belonged to the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. So, the second is: \[ C = \text{Goya} \]

Step 3: Place Daumier.
Daumier belonged to the nineteenth century. So, the third is: \[ E = \text{Daumier} \]

Step 4: Place Degas.
Degas was a nineteenth-century French artist associated with Impressionism. So, the fourth is: \[ B = \text{Degas} \]

Step 5: Place Picasso.
Picasso belongs to modern twentieth-century art. So, he comes last: \[ D = \text{Picasso} \] Thus, the correct order is: \[ A \rightarrow C \rightarrow E \rightarrow B \rightarrow D \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(B) A, C, E, B, D}} \]
