Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
Chronological arrangement means arranging events or institutions according to their time of establishment from earliest to latest.

Step 1: Identify the earliest museum.
Indian Museum, Kolkata is one of the oldest museums in India. So, the first is: \[ B = \text{Indian Museum, Kolkata} \]

Step 2: Place National Museum, New Delhi.
National Museum, New Delhi was established after Indian Museum. So, the second is: \[ A = \text{National Museum, New Delhi} \]

Step 3: Place National Handicraft Museum.
National Handicraft Museum came later and is related to crafts and traditional art. So, the third is: \[ D = \text{National Handicraft Museum, New Delhi} \]

Step 4: Place Visvesvaraya Museum.
Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum is a later science and technology museum. So, the fourth is: \[ C = \text{Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum} \]

Step 5: Place Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya.
Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya is the most recent among the given museums. So, the last is: \[ E = \text{Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya} \] Thus, the correct order is: \[ B \rightarrow A \rightarrow D \rightarrow C \rightarrow E \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{(B) B, A, D, C, E}} \]
