Explanation:

Correct Answer is (d).Explanation:
Out of the six sentences, the sentence E is clearly the first one as it introduces ‘William G. Perry’ (A proper noun) and sets the tone of the passage by mentioning the noun phrase ‘Cognitive Development’ (Again, a proper noun) in the sentence.
Sentence Cimmediately follows as it describes the model developed by William G. Perry. Interestingly, the writer has used the phrase ‘Intellectual development’ in place of ‘Cognitive development’. However, both the adjectives ‘intellectual’ and ‘cognitive’ are similar in meaning.
Keywords/Phrases that link C to E:
“His” in C links to “William G. Perry” in E.
“Intellectual development” in C links to “Cognitive development” in E.
Sentence F is to follow next as it refers to the first of the nine levels of intellectual development, mentioned in the previous sentence.
Keywords/Phrases that link F to C:
“First level” in F links to “nine levels” in C.
The sequence made so far is: E – C – F.
The sentence A follows next as it takes the description of ‘Dualism’ further.
Keywords/Phrases that link A to F:
“Dualistic thinking” in A links to “Dualism” in F.
Now, the sentence B describes how the model of ‘Dualistic thinking’ enables students to develop intellectually. The sentence B clearly, is to follow the sequence next.
Keywords/Phrases that link B to A:
“This model” in B links to “Dualistic thinking” in A.
“Students” in B links to “Students” in A.
Obviously, sentence D must be the last sentence in the sequence and hence the complete made after rearrangement is –ECFABD.
