Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. ADBC.

Sentence A introduces the topic “stress diseases and accidents”. The rest of the sentences are related to this topic.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer as only this option has sentence A in the initial position.
