(A) Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s The Mistress of Spices;

(C) V. S. Naipaul’s India: A Wounded Civilisation;
(D) Bharati Mukherjee’s Desirable Daughters;
(E) Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Naipaul’s India: A Wounded Civilization appeared in 1977, Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children in 1981, Divakaruni’s The Mistress of Spices in 1997, Mukherjee’s Desirable Daughters in 2002 and Giridharadas’s India Calling in 2011. The ascending sequence is consequently C–E–A–D–B. The other orders misplace the early travel study or the most recent nonfiction work.
