Correct answer: (B) 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Explanation
The correct chronological series runs from the earliest to the latest, giving the order 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
The 'War of the Worlds' broadcast (5) came first, the famous 1938 radio drama.
The launch of Sputnik (4) followed in 1957, the first artificial satellite.
The emergence of social networks (3) came next in the late twentieth century, then the launch of Facebook (2) in 2004 and finally the launch of Twitter (1) in 2006.
Reading the earliest event first and the newest last fixes this order.
The sequence moves from radio's age through the space era into the social media era.
