Solution

The correct option is A I have finished reading the first three chapters of the new Harry Potter novel.
When we use two adjectives of number, where one is a cardinal adjective and the other an ordinal adjective, the ordinal adjective comes before the cardinal adjective. Hence, the correct sequence is 'the first three chapters' and not 'the three first chapters'.
