   Option C
   Explanation: sequence is: becadf => sentence (e) is the second
   On taking a glance at the passage, it is clear that the passage is about malaria vaccine. No other sentence other than b), provides complete information on anything and are dependent sentences which cannot be used as a starting sentence. Sentence b) completely introduces malaria vaccine and hence acts as the introduction.
   According to b) from next year WHO will pilot test malaria vaccine. Sentence a), c) and e) are also related to vaccine, so check among these sentences for the next sentence. Sentence c) is eliminated as it will follow sentence e) as e) talks about trail phase and c) talks about what will happen after e) has taken place. Now both a) and e) are eligible for 2^nd position. a) says that if the vaccine does prove to be ready for large scale use… it means this will happen when it has been after the pilot test, So a) will not be the second sentence rather it will follow c) as c) is about pilot test. So second sentence is e)
   So we have now: beca
   From d) and f), d) will come first as f) is dependent on d).. f) says Africa accounted for 92% of these deaths… Which death? The death mentioned in d)
   So sequence is: becadf
