Explanation:

"All for a Paisa" is a riddle folklore story with different versions in different societies.

The protagonist (merchant's supposedly foolish son) is given one Paisa by his father and asked to buy with it something to eat, something to chew, something to drink, something to plant in a garden and something to eat for the cow. He with the advice of iron-smith's daughter buys a watermelon fulfilling all the requirements.

The events narrated are in fact related. Since the question asks seemingly unrelated, hence it is left up to reader's interpretation whether they seem unrelated or related to the reader.

Not all characters behave foolishly, so option B is not correct.

The description is not one extended scene, but divided in more than one scenes. So option C is not correct.

The merchant's son is not utterly foolish. And it is concluded that he wants to learn and in fact learns with experience. So option D is not correct.
