Correct option is C
Option (c) is the correct order of the given sentences.
Explanation (why this is the correct order):
Start with the subject given: “The national scholarship scheme …”
The logical main predicate is S: aims to bridge educational disparities among… (verb phrase attaches to the subject).
The object/complement of “among” is Q: socio-economically disadvantaged groups.
State the means/manner with R: by funding tuition and study materials.
Add the beneficiary locus with P: for students in rural and tribal regions.
Thus the coherent sequence after the subject is S → Q → R → P, yielding:
“The national scholarship scheme aims to bridge educational disparities among socio-economically disadvantaged groups by funding tuition and study materials for students in rural and tribal regions.”
(Option (c) represents this sequence.)
