Hint:You must read the parts carefully to solve this question. Try to find out the core meaning of the sentence and also find the subject and predicate of the sentence.

Complete answer:
The first statement should be the one that best connects with the first line. It must be a continuation or extension of the first line.

S comes first among all other parts, as "climbed the wall" joins with the pronoun "who" to identify which boy is spoken about.
Q follows S as this incident occurs next, justifying the consequences 'broke his leg'
R follows Q as 'and' is a conjunction and it connects two words or phrases.
P follows R that follows Q because the phrases "fell down" and "broke his leg" are both consequences that are connected to the word 'and'. Also, logically, the boy would fall down first, that results in 'breaking his leg'.
Hence the logical sequence is SQRP
Finally, the correct answer is (B) SQRP. The sentence would be the small boy climbed the wall, fell down and broke his leg.
Options A, C and D are incorrect because they do not contain the logical sequence.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note:All the other options are plausible distractions. You will know the correct answer more easily if you find the object of the sentence.
