Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. BADC.

Sentence B: This sentence sets the scene by describing the busy and noisy characteristics of London, emphasizing the urban environment with its fast-paced lifestyle and traffic.

Sentence A: It follows logically after Sentence B, explaining that due to London's hectic nature described in Sentence B, it is not conducive to walking as a leisurely activity. This contrasts with places where walking is more common and enjoyable.

Sentence D: It provides a personal example or consequence of the points made in Sentences B and A. Max, due to the busy and less pedestrian-friendly nature of London, does not engage in walking activities.
