A. Hell's organization from least sins to worst sins reflects Dante's

belief in an orderly universe.

Explanation:

The strict way in which Dante organized his long narrative poem, the Comedy, shows that, for him, and to most people of his age, the world was organized according to mathematical principles of order, which were reflected in the way that the purgatory, hell, and heaven sections of the work are set up in corresponding ways.
