The sentence B is the first sentence as it introduces the theme of the passage i.e. ‘water crisis suffered by India’. The sentence A should follow the sentence B as it further gives the number of people living in areas of high to extreme water stress. The sentence D tells the reason of water crisis, hence, becomes the third sentence in the passage. The sentence C finally concludes the passage aptly. |
Hence, the rearranged order is option 1 i.e. BADC. |
