Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: This question requires knowledge of the sequence of U.S. Presidents from the 1960s to the 1990s.

Step 1: Identifying Presidential Tenures.

• A. John F. Kennedy: 1961–1963 (Assassinated in 1963).
• B. Lyndon B. Johnson: 1963–1969 (Assumed office after JFK's death).
• E. Richard Nixon: 1969–1974 (Resigned due to Watergate).
• C. George H.W. Bush: 1989–1993 (Note: This is the senior Bush).
• D. Bill Clinton: 1993–2001.

Step 2: Ordering by Time.

• Kennedy (A) $\rightarrow$ Johnson (B) $\rightarrow$ Nixon (E) $\rightarrow$ Bush (C) $\rightarrow$ Clinton (D).

Step 3: Matching with Options.
The sequence A, B, E, C, D perfectly matches Option (1). It is helpful to remember that Johnson followed Kennedy immediately, and Clinton defeated the senior Bush in the 1992 election.
