Explanation

The correct chronological order of these developments is 2, 3, 4, 5, 1.

The printing press (2) came first with Gutenberg in the mid fifteenth century.

The plan for a mechanical computer (3) followed with Babbage's design in the early nineteenth century.

The single-screen motion exhibition (4) arrived in 1895, the first public broadcast of television (5) in the 1930s, and the first binary computer built by the British (1) came last during the Second World War.

Placing the oldest invention first and the newest last gives this line.

The path runs from print through mechanical computing to film, television and electronic computing.
