Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. BCDA.

Sentence B introduces the main topic — the adoption of India’s national flag “Tiranga.”

Sentence C adds more information about its symbolic value and material (khadi), logically following the introduction.

Sentence D then describes the flag’s physical structure — three horizontal stripes.

Sentence A further elaborates on one part of the design (the top band) and its symbolism, completing the paragraph.


Final Paragraph:
The constituent assembly adopted our national flag, Tiranga, which means tricolour, on 22 July 1947. As a symbol of nationalism and freedom, it is fashioned from khadi, domestically spun Indian cotton. It features three horizontal stripes that are all the same width. The top band is made of saffron, which symbolises power and courage.

Conclusion:
Thus, the most coherent and logical sequence is B–C–D–A.
