1.BDCA
2.DBAC
3.CDAB
4.ABCD
Correct Answer : 1
Solution :
B and D form the mandatory pair 'BD'. B informs that the trees help in keeping the air that we breathe clean by absorbing harmful pollutants and giving out oxygen in return.
D follows and informs which all pollutant gases the trees absorb in the urban environments.
C and A form another mandatory pair 'CA'. C informs us that there is an issue of increasing levels of carbon dioxide which results in trapped heat in the atmosphere. A informs how the trees act as carbon sinks and counter the effects of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Pairs BD and CA are present in option (a) only.
So, the correct order is BDCA.
Hence, option (a) is the answer.
