Arrange the following 'Doshas' (Poetic Defects) in the correct order as they appear in the standard classification (from word to sentiment):
A. Padadoshah (Defect in word)
B. Rasadoshah (Defect in sentiment)
C. Padamshadoshah (Defect in part of a word)
D. Arthadoshah (Defect in meaning)
E. Vakyadoshah (Defect in sentence)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

Hierarchical Logic:
Start with the smallest (Word/Pad) $\rightarrow$ Sentence (Vakya) $\rightarrow$ Meaning (Artha) $\rightarrow$ Sentiment (Rasa). Sentiment is always the final and most important category in the "Dhvani" school of poetics.
