We observe that the given numbers are arranged in descending order (from left to right), altering the position of only one number in each step, followed by the other numbers as it is. The process continues till the whole set of numbers is arranged in the descending order.Step1: 28 16 09 24 15 04

Step2: 28 24 16 09 15 04

Step3: 28 24 16 15 09 04

Hence, the answer is B
