• A. B, A, D and C
• B. A, B, C and D
• C. D, C, B and A
• D. C, A, D and B

Hint:

Chronology: \[ \boxed{ \text{Malthus} \rightarrow \text{Rachel Carson} \rightarrow \text{Schumacher} \rightarrow \text{Nicholas Stern} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Recall the publication years. \[ \begin{array}{|l|c|} \hline Publication & Year \hline \textit{Essay on the Principle of Population} & 1798 \hline \textit{Silent Spring} & 1962 \hline \textit{Small is Beautiful} & 1973 \hline \textit{The Economics of Climate Change (Stern Review)} & 2006 \hline \end{array} \]

Step 2: Arrange from earliest to latest. \[ 1798 \rightarrow 1962 \rightarrow 1973 \rightarrow 2006 \] Therefore, \[ \boxed{ B \rightarrow A \rightarrow D \rightarrow C } \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{Correct Answer}=(A)} \]
