A Correct answer
Explanation

This para jumble is very simple. Statement A is related to another statement, so it cannot form the beginning. Statement D again can't be starting statement as it is a general statement and no other statement links to it. Hence, we are left with only statement B. Out of C and D, C gives support to statement B, followed by A which further explains C. Hence, (1) is the correct option.
