Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's analyze the sequence logically:
Sentence A introduces the starting action: Ram sitting on a tree eating an apple. This is the ideal introductory sentence.

Sentence C continues the narrative ("While eating the apple...") and introduces an event: something hitting his head. Thus, C follows A.

Sentence D explains Ram's reaction to getting hit: he looked up and found a monkey. So, D follows C.

Sentence B clarifies what happened: the monkey had thrown an apple at him. So, B follows D.

The correct sequence is ACDB. Therefore, option C is correct.
