    Solution

    Sentence B will be the starting line as it contains the main idea of the para jumble i.e. a great column of smoke. However, Sentence C states that they wondered if it came from a chimney or a burning house. So, C will follow B. Further, Sentence A states when they got near, we saw it was the steam rising from hot springs & Sentence D states that we thought of taking a bath in the hot water. So, D will follow A. Going through the options, option c has the correct sequence.
