Question

Arrange herbicides in ascending order with respect to their first synthesis:
(A). Paraquat
(B). Pretilachlor
(C). Pendimethalin
(D). Simazine
(E). Sulfosulfuron
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (D), (A), (C), (B), (E).
• B. (B), (D), (E), (A), (C).
• C. (D), (B), (E), (C), (A).
• D. (E), (A), (D), (B), (C).

Hint:

Remember that sulfonylureas (like sulfosulfuron) are modern, low-dose herbicides developed in the late 20th century, placing them last in the chronological timeline. Triazines (simazine) and bipyridiliums (paraquat) are older chemistries from the mid-20th century.
