To arrange the saints in chronological order, we need to understand their respective timelines and contributions to history:
- Puneetavati (also known as Karaikkal Ammaiyar): She is one of the earliest known women saints. She lived during the 5th century CE and is counted among the 63 Nayanmars, the saint-poets of Shaivism in Tamil Nadu.
- Appar (also known as Thirunavukkarasar): He was a prominent Tamil Saiva bhakti saint-poet who lived during the 7th century CE. His hymns are included in the sacred Saiva canon, the Tevaram.
- Sambandhar: He was a child prodigy and a revered Nayanmar saint, also from the 7th century CE, known for his extolling hymns of devotion towards Lord Shiva. His compositions are part of the Tevaram.
- Sundarar: Sundarar, another celebrated Nayanmar, lived in the late 7th to early 8th century CE. He is also known for his devotional Tevaram hymns dedicated to Shiva.
Upon noting their chronological timelines, the order would be:
- Puneetavati
- Appar

- Sundarar
Thus, the saints in the correct chronological order are B (Puneetavati), C (Appar), A (Sambandhar), and D (Sundarar).
