Correct Answer: ABDC


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation:
The correct order ABDC creates a coherent narrative of a rescue at sea. First, the lifeboat reaches the drowning man, and two sailors manage to pull him onboard, conveying the urgency and immediacy of the situation. Following that, the difficulty of the rescue is highlighted, explaining that it was not easy due to the man's weight and the rough sea conditions. After successfully rescuing the man, the focus shifts to the lifeboat being raised out of the water. Finally, the rescued man, now wrapped in a blanket, is assisted onto the deck of the ship, and the sailors row the boat back to the ship, completing the sequence of events.

Therefore, the correct answer is ABDC.
