Explanation

To manufacture sodium chloride (NaCl) from sea water, we can follow these steps in the correct sequence:

1. **Collection of Sea Water (d)**: The first step is to collect sea water, which contains dissolved salts, including sodium chloride.

2. **Making of Hot Saturated Solution (a)**: Next, we heat the collected sea water to create a hot saturated solution. This means that we dissolve as much salt as possible in the water by heating it.

3. **Evaporation (b)**: After obtaining the hot saturated solution, we allow the water to evaporate. This process will lead to the concentration of the solution and the formation of salt crystals as the water content decreases.

4. **Addition of Small Quantity of Sodium Iodide or Potassium Iodide (e)**: To enhance the quality of the sodium chloride crystals, a small quantity of sodium iodide or potassium iodide is added. This helps in the purification process.

5. **Recrystallization (c)**: Finally, we perform recrystallization. This involves adding water to the salt crystals and then evaporating it again to remove impurities, resulting in pure sodium chloride crystals.

So, the correct sequence of steps is:
**d → a → b → e → c**
