Which one of the following sequences indicates the correct chronological order?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The correct chronological sequence is Shankaracharya → Ramanuja → Chaitanya. Adi Shankaracharya is placed in the early medieval period (c. 800–900 CE), Ramanujacharya appears later around c.1000–1100 CE, and Sri Chaitanya lived much later, commonly dated to the early modern period (c.1500–1600 CE). This ordering reflects the development from Shankara’s consolidation of Advaita Vedanta, through Ramanuja’s Vishishtadvaita reformulation, to the later bhakti revival represented by Chaitanya in Bengal [1].
