To solve this question, we need to arrange the constitutional provisions according to the schedules in which they are mentioned in the ascending order of occurrence in the Indian Constitution. Let's break down each provision:

1. List of states and union territories and their respective territories - This is covered under the First Schedule of the Indian Constitution.
2. Allocation of seats to states and union territories in Rajya Sabha - This falls under the Fourth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.
3. Provision as to administration and control of Scheduled Areas - These are included in the Fifth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.
4. Union List, State List, and Concurrent List - These are covered under the Seventh Schedule of the Indian Constitution.
5. Validation of certain acts and regulations - This is mentioned in the Ninth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.

Now, let's list these schedules chronologically as they appear:

• First Schedule (E)
• Fourth Schedule (B)
• Fifth Schedule (C)
• Seventh Schedule (A)
• Ninth Schedule (D)

Thus, the correct ascending order of occurrence based on the schedules is E, B, C, A, D.
