Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
A five-member inferential argument moves from the proposition to its supporting reason, then gives a general example, applies that relation to the case, and finally states the conclusion.
The abstract sequence is Proposition → Reason → Example → Application → Conclusion.
Application
C is Proposition: it states what is to be established.
B is Reason: it gives the ground supporting the proposition.
D is Example: it supplies a general instance linking the reason with the proposition.
E is Application: it applies that general relation to the present case.
A is Conclusion: it restates what has now been established.
Contrast
E-D-B-C-A begins with Application before the Proposition has been stated.
B-C-D-E-A places the Reason before the Proposition it is meant to support.
E-C-D-B-A begins with Application and places the Reason after the Example.
Cross-check
Using the traditional names—pratijñā, hetu, udāharaṇa, upanaya, and nigamana—produces the same mapping C-B-D-E-A.
Result
Therefore, the correct sequence is C-B-D-E-A.
