Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
Chronological ordering compares events by their dates, from the earliest occurrence to the latest.
For commissions and policy documents, first associate each name with its year, then sort the year-name pairs in ascending order.
Application
The Hunter Commission was appointed in 1882.
The Indian Universities Commission was appointed in 1902.
The Calcutta University Commission was appointed in 1917.
The Hartog Committee reported in 1929.
The Sargent Plan was published in 1944.
Cross-check
The years rise strictly as 1882 < 1902 < 1917 < 1929 < 1944, so the corresponding sequence is Hunter Commission, Indian Universities Commission, Calcutta University Commission, Hartog Committee, and Sargent Plan.
Therefore, the required order is D, E, C, B, A.
