    The correct answer is "Mahoney, Major, Maloney, Melrose". This is the correct alphabetical order because "Mahoney" comes before "Major" since "a" comes before "j" in the alphabet. "Major" comes before "Maloney" since "j" comes before "m", and "Maloney" comes before "Melrose" since "m" comes before "r". Therefore, "Mahoney, Major, Maloney, Melrose" is the correct alphabetical order.
