2. Pranamaya Kosha (D): The energy or vital sheath, related to breath and life force.
3. Manomaya Kosha (B): The mental or emotional sheath, dealing with thoughts and feelings.
4. Vijnanamaya Kosha (C): The intellectual or wisdom sheath, related to discernment and knowledge.
5. Anandamaya Kosha (E): The bliss or consciousness sheath, the deepest layer of happiness.

Therefore, the correct sequence using the provided labels is A, D, B, C, E.
