Solution

The correct option is A PRQ
The first sentence talks about a man walking on the beach.The next sentences should then explain sequentially what he saw on the beach, the condition of the starfishes, and what would happen to them later. Therefore, Option A, that is, "He saw that long with the morning tide came hundreds of starfish on the shore. And when the tide receded, they were left behind and with the morning sun rays, they would die." is correct. The rest of the options do not follow this order, hence these are incorrect.
