B .  The idea of playing solitaire cards game to cultivate mindfulness is radical. 
C .  It is possible to observe transient mental and emotional phenomena in a game of solitaire cards. 
D .  All of these
Answer: Option C
:
C
Read the question properly. Don't be in a hurry. The question is - "Which of the following views are endorsed by the author”?
So the answer demands an endorsement from the author.
Look at these lines -
For option (a): 2nd Paragraph - "Compared to classical vipassana meditation, considerable activity of physical motion, counting, and decision making is added, thus moving closer to life.”
For Option (b): 1st paragraph - "The very idea of playing cards to cultivate mindfulness has some shock value in itself!”
For Option (c): 3rd paragraph - "Observations of transient mental and emotional phenomena that apply in many areas of life is possible in this rich situation, as I will illustrate by describing a typical experiential sequence for me. "
It looks like all the three options are correct. So you might feel that (d) is the right option.
But looking at all the lines very closely, we find the endorsement only in (c). The author has personally said that he will illustrate he can observe the transient and emotional phenomena in this game. All the other lines are generic statements without any particular endorsements by the author (The answer demands that the pronoun "I” be there in the line).
It is a very tricky question. It is very easy provided you know this concept.
