The correct order in the process of sedimentary rock formation is:

weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation.

However, since this exact sequence isn't in the responses provided, the closest answer is:

weathering, deposition, cementation, burial.

This order captures most of the necessary processes involved in sedimentary rock formation, where weathered material is deposited, then undergoes cementation and burial over time.
