Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

The sentence, that has the topic, should come first.

Sentence D has the topic “Today’s woman”. Rest of the sentences are related to the same.

CA is a compulsory pair where Sentence C has the name of the conference and Sentence A refers to another summit with the word “also”, so it will come after C.

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer as it has sentence D in the initial position and CA as a pair.
