Why each option
Applying the weighted scores from the scoring table to each component and ranking them in descending order yields the priority sequence D, B, E, A, C.
The sequence D, B, C, E, A incorrectly places C before E, which does not match the calculated weighted totals from the scoring table.
The sequence A, C, E, B, D reverses the priority order entirely and does not reflect the weighted scoring results from the table.
The sequence D, B, E, C, A incorrectly swaps the positions of A and C compared to the correct weighted score totals.
Applying the weights and scores from the provided scoring table to each component and summing them yields total scores where D ranks highest, followed by B, E, A, and C in descending order. This ranking reflects the objective application of the portfolio's predefined weighting criteria to the component scores.
