Explanation:

The correct answer is (b). The man went into another room because the passage was full of smoke. It was an old wooden house. There was a fire at midnight. The man who was staying on the top floor of the house was caught unawares. He stumbled out into the smoke-filled passage and lost his way. So the root cause of his going into another room was the smoke-filled passage. All the other three options (a), (c) and (d) are automatically cancelled in the height of the above context.
