The correct order of the sentences is DBEAC, which logically organises the information as follows:

D introduces the topic by stating that laughter is a natural way to reduce stress and improve well-being, setting the foundation for the rest of the passage. B follows by explaining how laughter works in the body, triggering the release of chemicals that help us relax and feel happy. E builds on this by emphasising that even a short amount of laughter can have a positive impact on our mood and tension levels. A then gives practical examples of how laughter can be included in daily life, such as watching funny shows or sharing jokes.

C concludes by summarising the benefits and encouraging the use of laughter as a daily habit for better mental and emotional health. This order ensures a smooth progression from defining laughter's benefits, to explaining its effects, to offering examples, and finally reinforcing the overall message.
