Madhya Pradesh Bhoj (Open) University was established in 1991, placing it after Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University.
Karnataka State Open University was established in 1996, placing it after Madhya Pradesh Bhoj (Open) University.

Cross-check and contrast
The years are strictly increasing: 1987 < 1989 < 1991 < 1996 < 1997.
AEBDC begins with the 1991 institution before the institutions established in 1989 and 1987.
DEABC maps exactly to the increasing-year order 1987, 1989, 1991, 1996, 1997.
BDECA begins with the 1996 institution before four institutions established earlier.
CDEAB begins with the 1997 institution before every other institution in the list.
Therefore, the chronological order is Nalanda Open University → Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University → Madhya Pradesh Bhoj (Open) University → Karnataka State Open University → Netaji Subhas Open University, represented by DEABC.
