The first sentence states the suggestion given by the psychologists regarding the understanding of a joke. The last sentence says that they use 'this aspect' to assess something and this aspect is 'the ability to resolve'. Hence C precedes the last sentence and B precedes C as the idea of 'resolution' is given in this sentence. Sentence A is a logical continuation of the opening sentence and hence the given sentence along with all the three sentences forms a coherent paragraph.
