Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

C statement tells about ending of seven years of bitter negotiations. B statement logically follows as it tells the reasons of ending of bitter negotiations 'agreed to a set of rules'. So, CB is the key. Also, A statement tells the effect, the agreement had in the Indian parliament. The parliament was adjourned and D statement has to follow as it tells what happened at that time 'cries of sellout'. So, AD is also the key. These combinations are true only for option choice (2). Thus, (2) is the correct answer choice.
