  • The 'scientists' mentioned in the sentence 'C' are linked to the "new studies published in Nature Astronomy" in the sentence 'A'. Hence, 'A' follows 'C'.
  • The "Lunar water" mentioned in the sentence 'D' refers back to "water may be found all over the lunar surface" in the sentence 'A'. Hence, 'D' follows 'A'.
  • Sentence 'Bconcludes the paragraph by giving information about the exact movements of lunar water. Hence, 'B' makes the last sentence.
