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

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

Since that specific option isn't listed, the closest one based on the provided options is:

pianissimo, piano, forte, fortissimo

This incorrectly omits mezzo-piano and mezzo-forte but still puts the dynamics in a generally correct order from soft to loud.

Based on your options, the best answer would be:

pianissimo, piano, forte, fortissimo
