When you start XWindows, which series of programs and/or scripts would most closely describe the start-up process?

A.
xdm –> xinit –> xinitrc –> Xclients

B.
kde –> xinitrc –> xinit –> Xclients

C.
startx –> xinitrc –> Xclients –> kde

D.
startx –> xinit –> xinitrc –> Xclients

E.
startx–>xinit–>Xclients–>xinitrc

Explanation:
From http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XWindow-User-HOWTO/runningx.html:

typically when switching to runlevel >= 2 (depending on inittab) init starts xdm (the display manager), and thus X.
If the xdm dies, or needs to be restarted a user can call startx from console, which invokes xinit using the config scripts ~/.xserverrc and ~./xinitrc (or /etc/X11/xinit/ if the local files are not found) and finally the config script ~/.Xclients
