The arrangement of hardware and gaming devices according to the year they were launched is given below in ascending order.

Explanation:

1. The cathode ray tube amusement device was built and patented.

It was designed in the year of 1947 by Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr. and Estle Ray Mann. This game is known as one of the earliest interactive analog electronics game that was based on cathode ray tube.

2. Nimrod was created as the first computing device designed only to play a game (the game Nim.)

It was designed in the year of 1951 by John Makepeace Bennett and Raymond Stuart-Williams in the United kingdom. This hardware was designed to play a game of Nim.

3. The game OXO (tic-tac-toe) was created on Cambridge's EDSAC computer as part of research on human-computer interactions.

This single player video game was designed in the year of 1952 by Sandy Douglas as a part of his thesis at the Cambridge university.

4. The BASIC programming language is created at Dartmouth, making it easy for students to write computer games.

This general purpose and high level programming language was designed in the year of 1964 by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz.

5. EverQuest introduces the world to multiplayer online gaming with the inclusion of in-game purchases using real currency.

This massive multiplayer online game was introduced in the year of 1999 in North America and 2000 in Europe.

Answer:J. J. Thompson's experiment with the cathode ray tube lead to the invention of television. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "c". J. J. Thompson was born on 18th of December in the year 1856 and died on 30th of August in the year 1940. He was an English physicist who was born in Manchester of United Kingdom. He was awarded with the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of electron in the year 1897. The best part was that his son also got awarded with the Nobel Prize later on along with eight of his students.
