D. correct A. wrong (IMO) the [ID] column since the first part of the concatenation is the month name, when sorted the result will be same as [Month Name]

from the link: To Sort Months Chronologically, you need a Power Pivot Data Model and a Date field. Next you should get Month names and Month numbers by using Formulas. Finally you can then use Sort By Column in Power Pivot. Answer is D
