Correct option is C

Option (c) is the correct order of the given sentences.
Explanation of sequence:
· D (having heard rumours of mass transfers) sets the cause or background of the situation.
· A (that they got from the grapevine) logically follows to specify the source of the rumour.
· B (the employees of the MNC were on tenterhooks all day) tells the result of hearing those rumours.
· C (and their nervousness could be seen on their faces) adds a concluding effect of the tension.
Thus, DABC forms a coherent, grammatically correct sentence:
"Having heard rumours of mass transfers that they got from the grapevine, the employees of the MNC were on tenterhooks all day, and their nervousness could be seen on their faces."
