Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
This question asks for the chronological order of artists and their print-related works. We arrange them from the earliest historical period to the latest.

Step 1: Identify the earliest artist.
Albrecht Durer belonged to the Renaissance period and is famous for wood engravings. So, the first is: \[ E = \text{Durer's Wood Engraving} \]

Step 2: Place Goya.
Goya came much later and is known for important print series, including bullfight-related prints. So, the second is: \[ B = \text{Goya's Bull Fights} \]

Step 3: Place Ravi Varma.
Raja Ravi Varma's oleographs became popular in the late nineteenth century. So, the third is: \[ C = \text{Ravi Varma's Oleographs} \]

Step 4: Place Somnath Hore.
Somnath Hore was a modern Indian printmaker and sculptor. His Wounds series belongs to modern Indian art. So, the fourth is: \[ D = \text{Somnath Hore's Wounds art works} \]

Step 5: Place Laxma Goud.
Laxma Goud is a later modern Indian artist known for etchings and drawings. So, the last is: \[ A = \text{Laxma Goud's Etchings} \] Thus, the correct order is: \[ E \rightarrow B \rightarrow C \rightarrow D \rightarrow A \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(A) E, B, C, D, A}} \]
