Concept:
Literacy rate refers to the percentage of literate people in the population aged seven years and above.
The Census of India 2011 provides literacy data for all states.
Step 1: Identify literacy rates of the given states.
Approximate literacy rates according to Census 2011 are:
• Tripura -- \(87.22%\)
• Sikkim -- \(81.42%\)
• Uttarakhand -- \(78.82%\)
• Assam -- \(72.19%\)
• Arunachal Pradesh -- \(65.38%\)
Step 2: Arrange from highest to lowest literacy rate.
Arranging in descending order:
\[
87.22 > 81.42 > 78.82 > 72.19 > 65.38
\]
Thus, the sequence becomes:
\[
A, D, C, B, E
\]
Step 3: Match with the options.
The sequence:
\[
A, D, C, B, E
\]
matches option (C).
Step 4: Conclusion.
Hence, the correct answer is:
\[
\boxed{A, D, C, B, E}
\]
