Option B.

Moved parts of the sentence around

Explanation:

Let us consider the parts of a complete sentence:

The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or performing an action. The verb is the action word in the sentence. The Object is the thing on which the action is performed in a sentence.

We are dealing with two sentences in this question:

1. Jude followed the van

2. Night was approaching

These are two complete sentences with their own subject, verb and object.

They are bound together to form a compound sentence which is "Jude followed the van, and night was approaching"

The revised version of the sentence is simply a switch in the positions of the two simple sentences that form the compound sentence. The subject of the sentence was not changed, neither was the object or verb.

This simply means that parts of the compound sentence were moved around. This makes option B the correct answer.
