Correct option is C

The correct order of the sentences is DCAB.
Here’s the logical flow:
· S-1 introduces the salt seller's realization and his intention to teach the donkey a lesson.
· D describes how the next day, the salt seller loaded a cotton bag on the donkey instead of a salt bag.
· C follows, where the donkey attempts to play the same trick again, hoping for the bag to become lighter.
· A explains how the dampened cotton became very heavy, causing the donkey to suffer.
· B concludes with the donkey learning a lesson.
Finally, S-6 closes the story with the donkey no longer playing tricks, and the salt seller being happy.
Thus, the correct sequence is DCAB, and the correct answer is (d).
