Why each option
When sorting alphabetically in descending order, the value that comes last alphabetically will appear first.
Aaron would appear first in ascending alphabetical order, but last or near the end in descending order.
Molly would appear after Adam and Aaron in ascending order, and later than Xavier in descending order.
In descending alphabetical order, values are arranged from Z to A. Among the given choices (Aaron, Molly, Xavier, Adam), 'Xavier' comes last alphabetically, and thus it would be the first item in a descending sort.
Adam would appear after Aaron in ascending order, and later than Xavier and Molly in descending order.
