Application

Sentence C introduces the topic i.e. ‘the intelligence of man’.

The second sentence seems to be 'B' as it elaborates on the word 'intelligence' as mentioned in the previous sentence.

The next sentence should be 'A' as it introduces a new word i.e. 'power' and this word has been emphasized in the next line 'D'.

Hence, CBAD must be the correct sequence among the given options.
