Hint:

Chronology clue: \[ \text{El Greco} \rightarrow \text{Constable} \rightarrow \text{Courbet} \rightarrow \text{Diego Rivera} \rightarrow \text{Frida Kahlo} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
Chronological arrangement of artists is done from the earliest historical period to the latest.

Step 1: Identify the earliest artist.
El Greco belonged to the late Renaissance and Mannerist period. So, he comes first: \[ D = \text{El Greco} \]

Step 2: Place John Constable.
John Constable was a nineteenth-century English landscape painter. So, he comes after El Greco: \[ E = \text{John Constable} \]

Step 3: Place Gustav Courbet.
Gustav Courbet belonged to nineteenth-century Realism. So, the third is: \[ A = \text{Gustav Courbet} \]

Step 4: Place Diego Rivera.
Diego Rivera was a twentieth-century Mexican muralist. So, the fourth is: \[ B = \text{Diego Rivera} \]

Step 5: Place Frida Kahlo.
Frida Kahlo also belonged to twentieth-century Mexican art and is placed after Rivera in this sequence. So, the last is: \[ C = \text{Frida Kahlo} \] Thus, the correct chronological order is: \[ D \rightarrow E \rightarrow A \rightarrow B \rightarrow C \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(A) D, E, A, B, C}} \]
