Correct Answer: 4321

Solution

A, B and C cannot be the first sentence of the paragraph because of the pronouns and the situational phrases(of the situations that are not described yet) used=> D is the opening sentence of the paragraph.

As a result of the author asking for a shampoo mixture, the pharmcist wrapped a six-ounce bottle. The idea is continued in sentence C => C follows D.

As a result of the author asking for something for acute gastric cramp, the pharmacist shuffled away into the back regions. => B follows C.
