Answer

From largest to smallest: $ A,C,B~and~D $.

Work Step by Step

For the first lens A: We know that $ D=\frac{f}{f-number}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $ D=\frac{150mm}{1.2}$ $ D=125mm $ For the second lens B: $ D=\frac{f}{f-number}$ $ D=\frac{150mm}{5.6}$ $ D=27mm $ For the third lens C: $ D=\frac{35mm}{1.2}$ $ D=29mm $ For the fourth lens D: $ D=\frac{35mm}{5.6}$ $ D=6mm $ Now we rank the lenses in order of decreasing aperture size as $A,C,B~and~D $.
