Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

The correct sequence of the Indonesian islands from West to East is Sumatra, Java, Bali, and Lombok.

  • Sumatra: The westernmost major island of the archipelago in this list.
  • Java: Located to the east of Sumatra, separated by the Sunda Strait.
  • Bali: Situated immediately to the east of Java, separated by the narrow Bali Strait.
  • Lombok: Located to the east of Bali, separated by the Lombok Strait.

The Lombok Strait is also geographically significant as it forms part of the Wallace Line, which serves as a biological boundary between the fauna of Asia and the Wallacea transition zone. Therefore, Option B is the correct geographical progression.
