The correct order is determined by the annual calendar of the Grand Slam tournaments.
The season begins with the Australian Open in January. It is followed by the French Open, which takes place in late May and early June. Next is Wimbledon, held in late June and early July. The season concludes with the US Open, which starts in late August and ends in September.
Therefore, starting after the Australian Open, the chronological sequence is French Open, then Wimbledon, and finally the US Open. This matches option B.
