Solution
Option 1: (C), (A), (D), (B) -> Creates a logical flow: starts by defining mindfulness, clarifies it's not limited to formal meditation, then adds that meditation can still be a helpful foundation for developing awareness.
Option 2: (A), (D), (B), (C) -> Begins with "it" without establishing the subject first, and ends awkwardly with the explanatory clause.
Option 3: (B), (A), (D), (C) -> Starts with an incomplete phrase "begin developing..." and lacks grammatical coherence throughout.
