In the first step, the largest number comes to the first position and the remaining line shift rightward. In the next step the word that comes first in the alphabetical order goes on to occupy the second position pushing the rest of the shift rightward. This goes alternately till all the number are arranged in a descending order and all the words in alphabetical at alternate positions.
Correct Option: C
