Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question requires identifying the scientific mammalian family names for the given animals and arranging them in the specified sequence: Bear $\rightarrow$ Deer $\rightarrow$ Wolf $\rightarrow$ Antelope.
Detailed Explanation:
Let us identify the family of each animal:
1. Bear: Bears belong to the family Ursidae (order Carnivora).
This matches with (C).
2. Deer: Deer are hoofed ruminant mammals belonging to the family Cervidae (order Artiodactyla), characterized by having antlers.
This matches with (B).
3. Wolf: Wolves belong to the dog family Canidae (order Carnivora).
This matches with (D).
4. Antelope: Antelopes are even-toed ruminants characterized by permanent, unbranched horns belonging to the family Bovidae (order Artiodactyla).
This matches with (A).
Arranging the families in the order Bear $\rightarrow$ Deer $\rightarrow$ Wolf $\rightarrow$ Antelope gives: (C) $\rightarrow$ (B) $\rightarrow$ (D) $\rightarrow$ (A).

Step 2: Final Answer:

This sequence corresponds to option (B).
