Correct answer: B
Concept: In a sentence-rearrangement (para-jumble) passage, the opening sentence introduces the topic without relying on a pronoun or connector that points to an earlier idea, and every later sentence is placed by tracing pronouns (such as "it", "this"), linking words, and the logical or chronological flow until one continuous, coherent paragraph is formed.
Sentence D introduces the topic (rock climbing) with a historical fact and carries no pronoun pointing to an earlier sentence, so it opens the paragraph.
Sentence B follows D, adding the general claim that rock climbing has no age bar or special qualification requirement.
Sentence A follows B: its opening pronoun "It" takes rock climbing — the noun phrase named in B — as its antecedent, and A elaborates B’s claim by listing what that activity actually requires (basic fitness, technique or guidance, and safety equipment).
Sentence E follows A, shifting from the requirements to the sport's effects on the body and the mind.
Sentence C closes the paragraph, continuing the benefits theme opened in E by naming its own gains (confidence, personal satisfaction, stamina, endurance) that come through this sport.
This gives the order D-B-A-E-C, i.e., DBAEC.
Cross-check: reading D, B, A, E, C together produces one continuous paragraph in which every pronoun has a clear antecedent in the sentence immediately before it and the ideas move from origin, to accessibility, to requirements, to effects, to a summarising conclusion — confirming the order is internally consistent.
