To arrange the substances from the MOST to the LEAST ordered particle arrangement, we need to consider the state of matter for each substance:

1. **Wood**: This is a solid material and has a relatively ordered structure with particles arranged in a fixed, rigid pattern.
2. **Water**: Water exists in a liquid state, where the particles are less ordered than in a solid but still have some organization due to hydrogen bonding.
3. **Neon gas**: Neon is a gas and has the least ordered particle arrangement. The particles are spread out and move freely.

Based on this understanding, the correct order from MOST ordered to LEAST ordered is:

1. Wood (most ordered)
2. Water
3. Neon gas (least ordered)

Therefore, the correct response is:

**A** wood, water, neon gas.
