The correct order of dynamic markings from softest to loudest is:

pianissimo, piano, mezzo-piano, mezzo-forte, forte, fortissimo

However, from the provided options, the one that is most along these lines, though it doesn't follow the full order, is:

pianissimo, piano, forte, fortissimo

This option includes the softest (pianissimo) and the loudest (fortissimo), with piano and forte in-between, making it the correct choice among the options provided.

So the answer is:

pianissimo, piano, forte, fortissimo
