A won’t like the climate well, more of a cool season plant so will hate the hot climate and probably die.
B will work great since they are more upright and can stand the heat. I have a lot, don’t take up loads of space and flowers are awesome. Full sun of course.
C can be large depending on variety but also causes some allergies due to its pollen so that might be an issue– but would work
D will work fine.
E will grow well in pots in your climate (I’m an Okie so familiar with it) but mums tend to spread so they would possibly crowd out any other plants in a year or so.
I’d suggest one more plant to consider: Miniature Rose. Works well in pots, and you will have a much longer bloom season than any of the above. Plus loads of different colors are available.
Echinacea are tough as nails and can handle the dry hot temps in the summer as well as the cold air in winter. Also the Echinacea will bloom well from late April all the way through till October. The only problem is that it will be totally dormant over the winter, with no green leaves or stems on top until springtime.
