    A BDCA Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B ACED Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C BDAE Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D DABE Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E DEAC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Only B is suitable to be the introductory segment of the sentence. B talks of evidence. DA is a mandatory pair in the same order; D and A collectively list out some of the common traits. DA will be followed by E; together they clarify what happens to children who exhibit the traits mentioned in DA. B will be followed by DAE; DAE talks about what was demonstrated by the research. Thus, the correct arrangement is BDAE and C is the odd part in the sentence. Hence, option (c) is the correct answer. The correct statement is "Researchers have found evidence which demonstrates that children that have much longer screen time, less physical activity, irregular sleep hours, and less organized diets risk facing physical changes such as a loss of cardiorespiratory fitness and weight gain."
