Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. DBAC.
- Statement D is independent and starts with "First of all" hence, it will be the opening statement.
- Statement C will come at the end of the arrangement as it starts with "at the end".
- Statement B and A will come in between the arrangement respectively.
- Now we have the final arrangement i.e. DBAC.
