Solution

The main phrase talks about 'below zero winter temperatures', and thus must be connected with phrases that talk about cold climate/weather. Phrase ii) talks about 'hot and arid' climate of the desert and thus cannot be joined with the main phrase. Phrase i) talks about few 'cars being imported' and thus isn't related to the main phrase. Phrase iii) is the only one that talks about 'cold' weather, and thus can be joined with the main phrase. In the given options, the only sequence with the main phrase and phrase iii) is option d) that is 'iii-phrase', and thus is most apt. Hence, the order must be: iii-phrase Therefore, the correct answer is option d). The complete sentence is: On the mountains, the cold and frigid, below-zero winter temperatures, naturally kill predators.
