According to the diagram, the correct sequence of participation of left cerebral cortex areas in the process of reading a written word aloud is as follows: 4 (visual word form area) recognizes the written word, 3 (angular gyrus) associates the visual input with the corresponding sound of the spoken word, 2 (Wernicke's area) comprehends the spoken word, 5 (Broca's area) plans the movements required for speech, and finally 1 (motor cortex) produces the spoken word. Therefore, the correct sequence is 4, 3, 2, 5, 1, which is represented by choice D.
