Correct option is D

The correct order is CDAB.

This sentence sets the scene and introduces the characters and the initial dialogue. It logically begins the paragraph by describing an action and a question.
D: "'Well, I want you to grin and seem pleased', I added."
This sentence follows naturally as a direct response to the question in sentence C. It explains what the speaker wants, answering the question posed in the first sentence.
A: "'Well, you can't make me', she said, looking back at me."
This sentence continues the dialogue, showing the character's resistance to the request made in sentence D.
B: "She went on, 'Well, you might try', I responded, and she laughed."
This sentence concludes the interaction by showing the character's continued conversation and reaction.
So, the correct sequence that forms a coherent and meaningful paragraph is CDAB.
