Explanation:

Let’s break this down step by step. We're figuring out the correct order for these words as if flipping through an English dictionary. Here are the words:

1. Protest

2. Palindrome

3. Probability

4. Pathetic

5. Parking

Here’s how you’d sort them:

- Start with "Pa..." words: Palindrome, Parking, Pathetic

- Then the "Pro..." words: Probability, Protest

Now, lining up the "Pa..." group alphabetically:

- Palindrome ("l" comes before "r" and "t")

- Parking ("r" comes before "t")

- Pathetic ("th" comes after "rk")

So: Palindrome, Parking, Pathetic

Now for the "Pro..." group:

- Probability ("b" comes before "t")

- Protest

So, all together:

2. Palindrome

5. Parking

4. Pathetic

3. Probability

1. Protest

Let’s check which option matches that order:

Option: 1, 2, 5, 4, 3, 1

Option: 2, 2, 4, 5, 3, 1

Option: 3, 2, 5, 1, 4, 3

Option: 4, 2, 1, 3, 4, 5

None of the above options match precisely, but your choice ("option: 1- 2, 5, 4, 3, 1") lists 2, 5, 4, 3, 1, which matches the correct order above—so:
